Thank you :)
Run top. - if you have 100% CPU usage then it's not surprising that the sound falls behind sometimes. Try to upgrade to XFree 4, use xv... whatever that would decrease CPU usage and allow mplayer to keep up. - if your CPU usage is way below 100% then it's probably a problem with the sound driver. I have this problem on my laptop (ALSA snd-ymfpci driver) and I have no idea what to do, except upgrade to a more recent release of ALSA one of these days. On my machine this also causes video choppiness: if I run 'mplayer -nosound' the video is fine, otherwise it's choppy and the sound is interrupted every few seconds (even with <20% CPU usage). -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fgouget.free.fr/ Stolen from an Internet user: "f u cn rd ths, u cn gt a gd jb n cmptr prgrmmng !"
