Two xbmc.bin makes it stutter

I am running a live version with nightlies (set up with xci.sh to begin with).

When I reboot I have a xbmc process running and a xbmc.bin and the button sounds are working. When I start a movie, it seems to be starting another xbmc.bin and then the video stutters and no sound. What can I do about it? Now, I stop the video and then kill the new xbmc.bin process and restart the video. It won't start another xbmc.bin and all the subsequent videos work until I reboot.

It looks something like this:

1484 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/xbmc
1507 ? Rl 2:42 /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin
1672 ? S 0:00 /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin

I then kill 1672, and it works again.

Is there a good solution besides doing kill -9 with ssh?

Without a debug log it's just guessing. This kind of problem happened on NVidia systems. The call to nvidia-settings sometimes hanged and resulted in a xbmc.bin zombie process. This problem killed somethimes killed alsa as well. Only happened when "sync playback to display" was enabled.
According to release notes of NVidia driver 304 this might be fixed now.

I can get a debug log. Where to post it? It's quite long. I am running on an Nvidia ION system. An Acer Revo 3610.

Where can I get the latest nvidia drivers? I'm running an Ubuntu 12.04, and when I do apt-get install nvidia-current, no new stuff comes. I have version 295.40.

I disabled sync playback to display, and now it worked without having to kill anything. Shouldn't I run it with sync playback to display for getting the best video experience?

Will it work with the 304, I wonder?

Thanks for the info!
