Re: OSS emulation delays (?)

I've had similar problems with mplayer and my Terratec DMX 6fire (also 
ice1712)

I've had this problem with mplayer and oss emulation since alsa 0.9.3 i 
think (not quite sure). In older versions it
worked fine, but in newer versions and the current cvs it takes about a 
second for mplayer to skip anywhere. I didn't have this problem with any 
other app than mplayer though.

Same problem here again, mplayer's alsa-output has been broken for me 
since I have that card (1.5 years). Audio seems to be running fine, but 
video plays at about one fps, and after few seconds the 
"buggy-audio-driver" message pops up. Because mplayer is the only app 
having problem with the alsa-driver, I always thought it was mplayer's 
bug, but I didn't dare to post on their mailinglists :o).

I ended up using arts, because it works perfectly with the ice1712 
drivers and both xmms and mplayer.
