Building the idx files is a necessary step. What it can be avoided is to rebuild them every time Cinelerra opens a project. In fact after closing your project, by default Cinelerra keeps only 100 index files. To increase the number of index files kept go to "Settings→Preferences→Interface - Index Files" and enter a bigger value in the "Number of index files to keep" field. It shouldn't be smaller than the number of your source files. Of course this way you are using more disk space. > When using the OSS audio driver, playback is very queer. > The playback is nothing more that jumping back and forward through the > timeline and the overall progression is extremely slow.

I've encountered this problem quite often: in the Timeline the cursor is sweeping the same area again and again, progressing extremely slow, with no audio. I noticed it happens every time the audio device is busy (e.g. an application involving audio is open, in my case usually Kino or Firefox). Is this your case too?
