1 Hello.
2
3 When I use vlc to play music (like a MP3 file), the sound output (set
4 to alsa) is rather "jerky". Ie. it stops for a fraction of a second
5 every 4 or 5 seconds.
6
7 When I play the same file with xmms, all is fine.
8
9 But I'd like to use vlc, as it plays audio streams like
10
11 mms://a623.l672223087.c6722.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/623/6722/v0001/reflector:23087
12
13 just fine (or rather: used to play, as this "jerky" playback is a
14 somewhat new misbehaviour).
15
16 Any ideas?
17
18 Thanks,
