[MPlayer-users] Bug Report - Playback - sdl:esd makes video choppy

[Roman Karachinsky]

Hi, this is pretty much my first bug submission ever, so please excuse 
me if I'm not following some unsaid guidelines or something.

---------

Bug: If -ao sdl:esd is used, then after being paused, the playback 
starts being choppy. This happens with both stable/unstable/cvs releases 
and any type of file and any type of video output. Sometimes, after 
about 45 minutes of playback it gets choppy by itself. Before the 
pausing/45-mins, however, it is perfectly fine. Looks like it skips 
frames with equal intervals. However, this dissapears if played with any 
other audio output. However, since I'm using alsa, esd output is pretty 
important to me since I need good mixing of several inputs and ao alsa9 
doesn't work.
