Started seeing what?  Please elaborate.

If you mean that you are using a high-quality resampling method, then
you can expect Audacious to consume a lot of CPU.

Likewise, if you mean that you started seeing the Audacious process take
15-30% of CPU time in system calls when outputting through DMix, but not
when outputting to hardware directly, then I can confirm, both on an
Intel ICH6 and an HDA.  But that is a problem with DMix, not Audacious.

Peace,
