I have the same problems on kde. I noticed if I increase process priority of the reader (nice -n -20 mplayer) audio doesn't skip any more, but I have 2 questions: 1) how can I increase process priority *without* root permission or sudo? 2) is it dangerous for system stability increasing priority of foreground processes?
