[gentoo-user] xine audio skips

2007-07-24 Thread Aleksey V. Kunitskiy
Hi,

Last time I am watching to HDTVs. They are in mkv(xvid+ac3) or mkv(xvid)+ac3
(separate track) format. And I have a problem when watching them(all) in 
xine - it skips a few seconds of audio from time to time. Seems that it is 
sync problem, but AFAIK one of advantages of mkv format is very good av 
syncing.

Other players like vlc or mplayer don't have this problem, but I don't use 
them because of other disadvantages...

My hardware is: AMD Athlon X2 4400+, 3GB ram, GeForce 7950, audio ESI Juli@

and do you have arts running? if yes, kill it before you start watching a 
video. Arts sucks. ESD sucks too.. all sound daemons suck...

No, Arts is turned off and I don't use it. Audio output is set "alsa" in xine 
options

> maybe using xvmc might help?
I don't think so, because I have problems only with mkv format. HDTV in avi 
container have not this problem

Maybe mkv sync is broken in xine? Don't know... I'll try to emerge latest 
masked...
