Plugging in the headphones definately does not bypass the limiter -effect. I am unsure what you mean by EQ preventing speaker damage, since as far as I understand, equalizing would not do much to prevent that (unless it's a programmed parametric EQ doing the limiting only at required peaking values and boosting overall volume to compensate, instead of a regular compressor/limiter -effect).
There does seem to be a lot of PA overhead in general and it would be good to have some answers and options. Coming from a crappier phone music player, N900 audio sounds great to me, but i'm sure it could be better.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

I leave it playing, then I either use load-applet or the button in the interface; the volume button works 100% when the app is backgrounded.
You should reinstall, a new version came out yesterday.

I really can't agree with you on the soundquality but this is a good topic to discuss about mediaplayers smooth playback which is part of good soundquality.

I wouldn't mind it so bad myself if we could actually reap the primary benefits of a Pulse Audio system: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=36936

Not having the overhead issue on my N900 through 3.5 jack. 192kb files range from 12 to 14% cpu when adding the two processes up.

the main thing that annoys me about the additional background processes is that when im browsing the internet it stutters quite often. i really dislike this because the thought of having a powerful processor in my phone is marred because my old tmobile wing (@200 mhz) did similar but not as bad. i hope they resolve this issue soon.

Maybe somebody could write a script to give the mediaplayer higher priority untill this gets fixed?

MPlayer can bypass pulse. It's probably not a good idea to do this, as it will block everything else that wants to play sound.
mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0.0 file.mp3
mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0.0 file.mp3
