I'm playing a mp4 file and get an echo about 0.41s later. Can anyone help me? I've directed output to a file (-ao pcm) and get a wav file with this same echo: approx. 19740 samples later) so its probably not my audio setup. I've tried simplifying by eliminating video output. Oh, audio gets out of sync with video. I'm running on Kubuntu Hardy 8.04 with the Intel 82801H audio controller. Previously, I had to change the order of audio codecs in the config because libmad was causing clicks with this file. BTW this file works OK using libmp3 by default on another computer.
