Lag on mac with BasicPlayer from javazoom

Java Sound & OpenAL
#1

I use the library from Javazoom to play my ogg and mp3.

On my Athlon64@3.2 + XP it works very well but on my iBook G4@1.33 with Tiger I have a lag of one second, which is unacceptable.

When I load a song for the first time:

    // Instantiate BasicPlayer.
    player = new BasicPlayer();
    
    // BasicPlayer is a BasicController.
    BasicController control = (BasicController) player;
    try {

        // Open file, or URL or Stream (shoutcast) to play.
        control.open(new File(mediaPath));
    } catch (BasicPlayerException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }

When I ask for the song to be played:

public void play() {
    
    // BasicPlayer is a BasicController.
    BasicController control = (BasicController) player;
    
    try {
        
        // Start playback in a thread.
        control.play();
        
        // Set Volume (0 to 1.0).
        // setGain should be called after control.play().
        control.setGain(volume);
        
        // Set Pan (-1.0 to 1.0).
        // setPan should be called after control.play().
        control.setPan(0.0);
    }
    
    catch (BasicPlayerException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

The problem comes certainly from the thread creation, isn’t it ? Have you an other option for me ?
