Of course you need to recompile. That is XBMC source code.

I'm already using a build compiled from source. I didn't use synaptic to install. Can I jus make + make install on top of it or do I have to remove the old install?

Sorry it was 3am i finished compile and ran a test on latest Jaunty kernel, but i have some other problem there, because i have 30% CPU usage when i am on main screen doing nothing. I think it is Video card related as the nvidia properiaty drivers are not yet been recompiled for the new xorg Jaunty has.
So i have to make a real test on Intrepid, but i am at work now, so i can only make it in the evening.
I will instantly inform the forum about the results. I really really hope it works. At least than we will know that there could be some ffmpeg compillation options which need to be tuned for the newer kernels.
Thanks for everyone helping out here, specially the Devs who make excellent work !

Ehem...please check cpu load distribution in top, it's 50/50 to ~60/40 all of the time.
1. Start top in a terminal
2. Press '1' for SMP mode, 'H' to show threads, '>' until "COMMAND" is the sort column.
3. Start XBMC and play your favorite video showing the "bug".
So something is just funky in the CPU load detection as someone else mentioned earlier. This doesn't resolve why playback is so crappy on Intrepid though.

I noticed CPU throttling management sucks in Intrepid. I get dropped frames when using software upscaling if the CPU mode is set on "ondemand". The CPU load doesn't go anywhere near 100%, and it stays throttled, at doesn't kick up to speed even if frames are dropped.
If set the power mode to performance, CPU usage drops, and the frame drops stop.
