Hi, When watching avi files and dvd's with mplayer (both released versions and compiled from CVS), the sound warbles after around 2 minutes of playing. This problem has been seen for some time now, so maybe I'm the only one seeing this problem. The audio and video playback does not seem to go out of sync, the A-V difference is always small. Sometimes the audio goes back to normal but most often the problem remains. It is easily resolved though, by seeking backward followed by seeking forward is vice versa with the arrow keys. Output shown is normal, except some occurences of: alsa-space: xrun of at least xxx.y msecs. resetting stream but these do occur on other boxes as well without audio problems. Anybody has an idea how to find the cause of the problem? More info is available on request. Video driver: xv Audio driver: alsa9, similar problems with oss alsa9: 48000 Hz/2 channels/4 bpf/16386 bytes buffer/Signed 16 bit Little Endian Audio device: Intel 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio, driver: snd-intel8x0 (alsa 0.9.0rc5) Hoping to give input so that the already great mplayer gets even better. Good work guys. Svante
