Hi,
whatever I use mplayer or gmplayer whatever the cache is, whichever the version of mplayer is , it works slow with oss397e-linux-v2x. if I change the oss version to an older one it works pervect. Is there a bug in oss maybe ??
yes. RTFM. xmms and other audio-only players don't use syncronization functions of teh audio driver - mplayer does. if it's broken, mplayer won't work, playback will be jerky. you can also try -autosync 30 (it will smooth/emulate the syncro stuff of oss) or -ao sdl or use alsa, it's much better than kernel's oss drivers or use oss commercial, it's even better than alsa - but costs money :( (but at least is compliant with the oss specs/standard, unlike teh kernel's broken-to-hell oss drivers...)
