Nothing in the patches for this problem, which is quite recreatable, Bill Fink was looking into this. If the esd daemon is running (just disabling desktop sounds is not enough, kill the daemon) and you run without -A esd, you will get ill. instr. on ppc, unless running in gdb. ESD is useless for this anyway, no hope of syncing A/V, at least till they fix the esd_get_latency() call which just hangs on both PPC and x86. BTW - the xine user maillists would be a better forum for this - I'm mailing you the cummalative patch. Henry ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
