Hi Frank, there are multiple questions here: Getting audio out of VLC is probably a good place to start. Have you tried using ALSA in VLC instead of Jack? You might have to close and restart VLC in between changes too.
As far as tweaking avi playback, that is a rats nest like the wireless stack in linux. The video card, driver in use and version of gstreamer plugins and of course a preference setting somewhere could prevent smooth playback. My test in these situations pulling my hair out with Ubuntu are blue-ray matroska files at fullscreen. They are higher density and put more stain on all the system, but ideally should playback fine with perfect audio and video sync. Its actually not that easy though. In my experience ironically, Totem is the last choice I would make for a player in favor of Mplayer which has plenty of settings like VLC that you can address, or screw things up with ;) Getting DVDs to playback perfectly without dropouts can be hard as well on any linux system. ON my macbook pro things tend to be like glass and with issues, beachball and die. After rotating through the various players I found Mplayer to have the most correspondence between making a setting, and seeing an expected result. Slightly better than VLC, though that could change easily. I see Matthias just responded to this - maybe he has something more specific to offer. In Mplayer I might increase the cache...though without a video card with dedicated memory you might not ever get it perfect if your resolution is high and you view at fullscreen.
