Rhythmbox or the gst-launch-0.8 that approximates that it's doing. Both
use about the same amount of CPU.

Most of it seems to be eaten by the spider part of the gstreamer
pipeline.=20

gst-launch-0.8 gnomevfssrc location=3Dmy.mp3 ! spider ! volume ! audioscale=
 ! audioconvert ! osssink

Of course it's complete noise without the spider. For comparison, here's
rhythmbox with the xine backend:
