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...)

oss commercial is what I use and with those drivers I have theese problems mplayer works ok with alsa and oss kernel drivers and all version of comercial oss other than 393j, but I want to use this version because I can play more than one sound aplication at one time ...and it doesn't work with -autosync 30
