I noticed that even with mplayer getting the option

-vo dfbmga:crtc2:fieldparity=top:tvnorm=ntsc

I still got glitches during playback.  I tried a number of command line 
arguments and found that playback was smooth if I specified -nosound. 
That's no good, since I don't want to watch all my tv shows on mute, so 
I kept trying options and found that adding -vsync to the command line 
made playback smooth.  The only problem in that case was that audio was 
offset a bit and would get further out of sync sometimes after a seek. 
I added the -framedrop option and that seems to have fixed that, making 
mplayer drop a few frames after a seek in order to resync with the audio.

I then went to the mailing list here and found another user using 
directfb with a matrox on his tv using the same exact options as I do 
now.  I'm just curious if anyone else uses these or other options to get 
their tv-out on a matrox to play nice.

I thought -vsync was implied when using the fieldparity option on the 
dfbmga driver, but I guess it isn't.  Note that triple buffering is 
enabled by default for dfbmga.  Why can't mplayer seek the audio exactly 
so no frames need to be dropped (mp3 audio)?  I use the onboard audio 
(via8235).

It occurs to me that this isn't even a freevo concern, but maybe some of 
you other freevoers know some answers to my questions.
