Artsd is nothing wrong, it's just used for KDE sounds.. none of players tried was using it. For being sure, i just killed it before next tests. Just tried mplayer, surprisingly it played almost normal (lag every 5 or so seconds :D), i set verbosity to 5, and got some output at moment of lag (see below). >From this i suspect it could be some kind of buffering problem. As i understand, it's lagging when it cant play some larger chunk, so it's trying smaller and smaller.. Anyone have any ideas what buffer i could check/increase? Regards, Atis.
Hi I had similar problems with kde sound system, noatun, kaffeine... which disappeared when I configured kde not to deal with sound at all. Why don't you use alsa? regards
