.edit
And probably issue is not entirely because of CPU it's also about IO activity.

pulseaudio eating about 25-26% and mafw around 10%


Anyways...It's pretty annoying that something that looks really simple can cause this much trouble...I really don't understand why Nokia didn't give any response about this problem

Nokia has EQ and we don't?

He only said the speaker had some sort of eq.

Nope
The CPU usage stays pretty stable at around 30-40%

Seems obvious to me. Awk might be odd, but Gimp is clear.

as a layman - not introduced to Unix/Linux even the GNU will ne very much unclear to a user. Its only the Unix geeks who understand what is GNU.

So GIMP is still pretty unclear.
along the same line - looking at it from a tool noob user point of view - ther are many Linux apps which just dont make any meaning - hell even I am sometimes confused by such nomenclature.

#1 - I don't use the iPlayer..

#2 - I listen music while browsing.. And then I also minimize the web browser and play games on the N900 (Angry Birds, Drnoksnes..etc) with no stuttering at ALL...

#3 - Welcome to linux.. Also the N900 was never meant to be for the non-tech savvy people.. So if your gf can't handle this "issue" then the N900 is not right for her..

couple of questions for those who are not experiencing stuttering audio:

1. where are your audio files stored? microsd or internal mem?

2. how big is your audio collection on the device?

1. I have both music on MyDocs and on a 2GB microSD card.

2. I have about 200 songs...

I have observed music player freezing when opening ovi maps while listening to music.
I surfed the internet, yes sometime it halts the music.

My music is saved on 32 gb and not more than 12 tracks.
