I've been able to get it to skip is to force basically
everything into swap with programs that take up 3+GB of
RAM (making markov chains from big.txt takes...quite a
bit in duck-typed languages). Maybe it's the dual core
3.0GHz, but I've found it hard to skip apps using PA.
PA is taking 0% CPU and kaffeine jumps to 1% playing
flac files. Also, PA hasn't even jumped towards the top
of usage at all in the past few minutes.
I have an old PC. It only has one core, and ATA drives in it. Trust me, you can
make things skip.
