It allows the audio output thread to be higher priority, resulting in more stable playback when your system is busy.

I did this under Debian Buster (Xfce).
It seems that Mediacenter starts and stops much faster.
I can not find any other advantages.

Here is an example of what it can help:

Rizlaw:
I have noticed under 23.0.21 with the new thread priority feature that whenever I move my mouse off the MC window with the spectrum analyzer window open, that the spectrum analyzer goes into slow motion mode. The second I move the mouse cursor back onto any portion of the MC window(s) the spectrum analyzer starts to move in what I will call "normal" time with the music playing.  Is this the way it's supposed to work with thread priorities enabled?

I probably should make this a separate post, but is there any chance that the "now playing" mode can be designed to allow for user placement and sizing of the cover art TOGETHER with a display of the DSP studio spectrum analyzer side by side? Currently, trying to do this with the separate DSP window overlaying a portion of the main MC "now playing" window is a very poor substitute because the minute you click anywhere else on the screen, the DSP window automatically moves behind the main window of MC and disappears. Very inconvenient. I believe I posted about this a long while ago, but never got an answer from the Powers That Be.
