I have the same troubles (with the same hardware). In most cases this is due to sound channels of movie clip - 6 or more channels. 2 channels' movies almost always playing perfect for me. Here is my solution for mplayer: mplayer -channels 6 -af pan=2:1:0:0:1:1:0:0:1:1.3:1.3:1:1 (see http://hddaudio.net/viewtopic.php?pid=105601#p105601 for more info) If it does not help, try to enable software mixer: mplayer -softvol -softvol-max 1000 (but it damage sound when player's volume is max) If you will find another solution for OpenBSD, please email me.
