you'll need to do 2 things:
always use a cache when reading directly from
/dev/videoX, if you don't, then the software decoders
will start decoding frames before the entire frames
are copied.
For mplayer, always use the -framedrop option. Else it
will display every video frame and play every audio
frame.. if your computer can't handle the video frames
100% of the time then you'll get lag.
skipping fixes it because it resets the pointers. If
you let it run it will get out of sync again.
