Hi guys,
XBMC dharma beta 3 from Ubuntu ppa
Ubuntu 10.04 x86 with pulseaudio uninstalled (for pass-through audio).
Nvidia ION + 330 atom, 2GB RAM, 256M as video RAM
pass-through sound and video over HDMI
sync playback to refresh ON, sync to video clock (drop or resample) ON
Video modes:
Problem:
sometimes when I start video, seek video or pop-up into GUI I get dropped audio, at roughly 1 block every second. That somehow makes the video jerky too (seems like a video frame is dropped). I do not have video frames dropped during playback in fact (at least according to "o" screen, only audio)! Also I'm synced to vide clock, not audio. That seems to happen with higher quality videos. After roughly 20 minutes of jerky playback it gradually goes away. Disabling pass-through and downmixing to 2 does not matter. Is is not specific to a single video file. Changing any playback sync method or not synching at all does not matter. Using pulseaudio or alsa does not matter. CPU does not get above 15% when playing.
I am attaching a log where I start a video, for some time it's OK until I drop into GUI, then ~20 minutes of jerky playback and back to normal playback.

Please help! What other info may be required?
Thanks for your great work!
