[MPlayer-dev-eng] Audio synchronization

[Eric Anholt]

I've recently discovered mplayer through the FreeBSD mailinglists, and was 
trying it out on a divx movie I have.  Of course, the first thing that bit me 
was cpu detection (It said my Celerons had 3dnow support.  Errors followed).  
I've been working since then off of a July 8 pre5 tarball trying to add 
runtime cpu autodetection, and I've got cpuid working correctly on my machine 
now (I'll try on a P3, too), and am working autodetecting kernel support for 
MMX2/SSE.  It's using function pointers and template headers rather than if 
statements, and I have quite a few to go still, but the process is fairly 
mechanical.

However, when I was able to download CVS and work against that, the audio on 
my movie is totally out of sync, late by a little over a second.  Before I 
could start it up and it matched almost perfectly.  The patches I have to the 
system are almost the same between the tarball and the CVS, and I'm running 
the same commandline (tried a few different audio and video options on both 
of them), but the newer CVS is just out of sync.  Have other people seen this?
