Re: Audacious sound skips , continue

Are you maxing out the CPU utilization? Try increasing its priority, e.g.:

schedtool -I -e audacious

Re: Audacious sound skips , continue

policy not implemented

It's implemented in the BFS scheduler - I use pf-kernel.

Or just use nice:
nice -n -4 audacious
... With the relevant entry in e.g. /etc/security/limits.d/91-limits-local.conf

whateveryourusernameis           -   nice            -4

Then re-login, to have the limits change take effect.
