I still get smoother playback with OSS emulation than mplayer's ALSA driver. I think it's because the ALSA driver resets the stream on xruns: alsa-space: xrun of at least 862.101 msecs. resetting stream3% 7 0 alsa-space: xrun of at least 53.590 msecs. resetting stream.2% 27 0 alsa-play: xrun of at least 5.844 msecs. resetting stream 5.1% 102 0 alsa-space: xrun of at least 442.926 msecs. resetting stream1% 168 0 alsa-space: xrun of at least 50.325 msecs. resetting stream 5.2% 4 0 alsa-play: xrun of at least 15.953 msecs. resetting stream 5.1% 84 0 This seems like a waste of CPU - after all there's nothing we can do but drop frames if I'm trying to play a movie that my CPU can't quite handle. Shouldn't mplayer just ignore xruns?
