Unfortunately, my Alsa install is 1.0.5a as this is what comes with
Slackware 10.0.  As I despise Alsa I can never get it to compile and
configure properly if I make the slightest change to it I have chosen
to leave it alone.  But, additionally, I have tested the old encodes
and they work fine.  If I tap three times on the '-' key I get a
noticeably out of sync playback.  Whatever is going on is in my
mencoder behaviour in my current setup, rather than in mplayer, which
oddly seems to be working just fine.  I am beginning to suspect that
there is something hinky going on with Slack 10.0.
