Hello, everyone:
Let's get the preliminaries out of the way:
Distribution: Mandrake 10.1 Official
Motherboard: Gigabyte 7NNXP (NForce2)
CPU: Athlon XP 3200+
Memory: 1 GB Corsair TwinX
Video card: GeForce FX 5900 Ultra 256 MB
Sound driver: intel8x0
Kernel: 2.6.8.1-12mdk
When I try to play an .avi file in Kaffeine 0.4.3b, the sound plays normally for about twenty seconds, after which the last half-second or so plays as though on continuous loop for the next few seconds, after which the sound cuts out entirely. The video continues playing normally, however. Also, Kaffeine won't close by itself, but will ony close after the "window is not responding" dialogue comes up. If I try to bring up another instance of Kaffeine, it plays the first half-second of the audio as though it were on continuous loop for a few seconds, then cuts out.
I'm getting similar behavior from Real Player 10.0.3.748 as well when trying to play .rm files. It plays the first few seconds of audio, after which the last half-second of audio goes into continous loop. The video freezes at this time as well. Interestingly, the sound can be briefly restored four a couple of seconds by dragging the clip to a new location, after which the video freezes again and the sound goes back to looping over the last half-second or so.
In either case, I lose internet connectivity after trying to view the multimedia files. Connectivity can be restored by disconnecting and recoonecting eth0.
Here's some additional information that I think might be useful:
Contents of modprobe.conf:
