Hello 

I also had this problem even with the -dvd option after installing libdvdread.
However, I read in the docs (more exactly in the mailing list archive) that 
this could come from a problem of audio buffer size. As adviced, I increased 
the packets and size limits (in demuxer.h) (by a factor of ten !) and now the 
sound works. 
However, the system is really slow (even with -framedrop) and sound and 
images are totaly unsynchronised. (although it almost works with avi files 
(divx4))
I use SDL 2.1 as video driver but the same results are obtain with dga or 
svga. So the question is: with my 450 MHz AMD K6/III and 192 Mo of memory, am 
I supposed to get better results ? What video driver should I install ?

Thanks.

Christophe.
