It's a known problem that their 'improvements' made things worse for us; Bastien Nocera put up a patch from the xine-user list at http://hadess.net/files/ppc/xine-ppc-sound-0.5.3.patch which works fine for me. Unfortunately video/audio sync is still bad with dmasound, maybe alsa would be better. > my main question is how can xine-4.0.01 be so much faster than > xine-0.5.2, considering that there have allegedly been big performance > improvements in xine since 4.0.01 ... or maybe there haven't been any > improvements after all. Michel: did you just use the stock compiler > optimizations when you built your xine debs ? Pretty much, yes. I assume only sound was worse for you with 0.5.x? It seems to be better in general here. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
