[plug] MPlayer slowdown when USB thumbdrive attached

[JM Ibanez]

I'm having some weird problems. Whenever I attach a USB thumbdrive to my system[1], playing anything on MPlayer becomes utterly slow (if via the 'x11' -vo option) or the output is a literal blue screen (if via the 'xv' -vo option).

Anyone experienced similar slowdowns? Relevant information about my system below, including the link.

Additional info, recently added:

• USB Host Controller - PCI, VIA 8xxx chipset-based
• Box is currently running Ubuntu Linux, kernel 2.6.10, with X.org 6.8.2.
• MPlayer version: 1.0pre6-3.3.5
