Summary:                    xruns when playing audio or video files
Description: 
I get xruns when playing files.
I tested with lots of 2.6 kernels, up to 2.6.9_rc4 with the same results.
It seems that mplayer with sdl output works fine, but xruns with alsa.
Using acpi=off or pci=noacpi helps in mplayer but not in vdr (with
softdevice plugin - using alsa).

Ok, tested with xine, it seems to be working, except with HDTV files but I
supposed it's normal given the load.
So, even if almost every alsa apps causes xruns on some hardware only, as
long as it's their use of alsa which is bad, that's not a problem.
How alsa can be so hard to implement correctly so that experienced
programmers can't make their software usable on every platform?

[Question : if I can test another sound card on the same computer, could I
conclude something with the result with mplayer/vdr-softdevice before
definitely closing this bug?]

Is there a consensus that this report can be closed,
because the problem is really in mplayer?
