smplayer: video+audio stutters with pulseaudio, audio files play fine

GamerX · 02-05-2009, 01:37 AM

As the topic says, mplayer plays audio files fine through pulseaudio but when playing video the audio stutters and pulseaudio process starts using close to 100% CPU.
No problems if I use ESD instead of pulse for audio playback.

Any idea what could be causing this?

it might help if you tell us what videos do this

most likely it is *.avi or .rm(.ram) files use vlc or real player for real.avi's and .rm's
pulse works fine for me on f9 , what is your sound card ?
