 Q: XMMS-SID plays some tunes too fast / there are severe playback bugs!
 
-A0: GCC 4.0 (and perhaps GCC 4.1, too) produces broken code when
-    compiling libSIDPlay2 (it is a bug in the optimizer). If your
-    distribution uses GCC4 and you have problems with libSIDPlay2,
-    there are few alternatives:
-
-    1) Use GCC3 instead.
-
-    2) Some people also report that disabling all optimizations on
-    GCC4 (by using -O0) will fix this problem, but other reports
-    say that it does not on 64-bit platforms. Also, disabling
-    optimizations will slow libSIDPlay2+reSID VERY MUCH, they
-    will consume much more CPU then!
-
-    3) Latest CVS version of libSIDPlay2 has some workarounds for
-    GCC4 bugs, but it is unknown whether all optimizer bugs have
-    been caught.

 A2: Generally speaking this might be a bug in emulation-library or some
     other component. Or it might be in XMMS-SID. Report and I'll see
     what can be done.
