Can you send me the diff you used to make it working again? Maybe I
can see something.

Yes.

It wasn't Viggo, it was me. But osd.sleep only takes care of the
screen update for the animation to avoid an extra thread (two threads
drawing on the osd is a bad idea).

Yes, and since Elapsed time doesn't update, Freevo also doesn't read
the stdout.

VERY strange. It's the same code to read from the childs. Start freevo
and count the number of python processes you have (threads are shown
as processes in top and ps). Than start a video, you should have two
more threads than. Do the same for audio, do you also have two more
threads?
