After upgrading to mplayer rc4 I've started to get this problem. The thing starts ok, but very quickly, in several seconds, it's perfectly perceptibly how the sound starts going ahead of the video, and while the time happens the thing goes worse and worse. I've tested the same exact movies with 1.0_rc2_p20090731-r1, and haven't experienced a single problem. Downgrading solves my problem for now. In addition, with rc4 my cpu goes around 60% when playing any movie. With the rc2 I mentioned above it never goes beyond 15%, and usually it's below 10%, and the audio is perfectly synced. No custom cflags, and anyway I have that use flag turned off always. In any case, the emerge --info is below. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20090919-r1 2. play a movie 3. what if you can discern the audio going out of sync in a few seconds, watch also the cpu load Actual Results: audio is out of sync, and cpu is loaded up to 60% Expected Results: synced audio and around 10% cpu load $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.4.1,

Created attachment 205241 [details] Patched ebuild that reverts the offending commit
Created attachment 205243 [details] patch that reverts libao2/ao_alsa.c to commit 29548 This fixes the sync and cpu issues with latest mplayer. By the way, this also works with 9999, so if you want you can patch that ebuild as well (which is also bugged). The whole thing is being tracked here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.mplayer.user/61368
Should be fixed in MPlayer SVN r29748, which also should be trivial to backport if you need it for some other version.

Maybe we should make a new release, maybe mplayer_1.0_rc5_p20091002. For now, the 9999 ebuild will work ok for me.

And now it's worse because there's no workaround at this time. 29789 fails to build for me (yes, it's a separate issue, but I am stuck with no working version of mplayer in portage ATM).
mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20091026 in portage.
Thanks for the update. This solves the problem.
