Then some video frames might have PTS values on them, and if these differ from the predicted PTS, xine resets the buffers and jumps to the new PTS value. xine lets the video PTS values dominate. Now, if the Audio PTS values are correct, but the video PTS values are wrong, xine will correct itself to the video, and this will result in xine thinking the audio PTS values are wrong.
Extract of running xine with "xine --verbose=3" audio discontinuity #12, type is 2, disc_off 3904619 waiting for in_discontinuity update #12 fixing sound card drift by 1898 pts video discontinuity #12, type is 2, disc_off 3904619 fixing sound card drift by 1425 pts audio discontinuity #13, type is 2, disc_off 4768619 waiting for in_discontinuity update #13 video discontinuity #13, type is 2, disc_off 4768619 audio vpts adjusted to audio vpts audio jump, diff=75600 So, xine is seeing jumps in audio and video pts values. Another possible reason for the problems, could be that the audio and video are not multiplexed close enough together, so even with xine's large buffers, it cannot fit the audio and video with the same PTS in the buffer. You need to redo the PTS values in the stream so that xine does not see any discontinuities. </quote> What are PTS values? What do I need to read? I googled, but got a huge number of replies and very little seemed to have much to do with it.
