When using ALSA libs 1.0.8 mplayer is fine. But if I upgrade to 1.0.9 or any of the rc releases before 1.0.9 was released the sound and the video are desynced. I've tried all different combinations of static in kernel drivers, modular kernel drivers, and alsa-driver. All provide the same results. Upon downgrading to 1.0.8 mplayer acts fine.

try -srate 44100 and -srate 48000, I heard it fixed problems sometimes. Does this also happen with the OSS emulation?
-srate 44100 looks like it works, but woudlnt that mean there is a bug somewhere if it WAS working and now it can't detect it properly or something?

I never know with alsa, but maybe your soundcard driver claims it can do 48kHz audio but in reality can't? Maybe try other video players, and try with and without dmix. But actually I'd suggest using OSS emulation, it works much better in most cases.
Making mplayer use oss also seems to fix it, but I still think its a bug somewhere in something. Nothing wrong with my driver cuz it worked fine with alsa libs 1.0.8.
try to use the updated drivers
So it seems ALSA 1.0.9 enables dmix by default and acording to the docs, dmix defaults to 48000. I've been googling and wiki'ing and just can't seem to find the right asoundrc file to get it to 44100. But the fixes in the mplayer config "fix" it.
so what is req here. If alsa 1.09 forces dmix , does it not provide a working config? I never managed to get dmix to work so say the built-in mixing as a way out. The result is sound is now completely broken (jumps stuttery unstable) and even retro-grading to 1.08 now shows the same issues. Is there possibley some residue that breaks 1.08. How to clean up and get back. Mplayer is now _unusable_ on any config. eg mp3 only... Video: no video Starting playback... alsa-space: xrun of at least 6.499 msecs. resetting stream alsa-space: xrun of at least 8.741 msecs. resetting stream A: 2.7 (02.7) 0.7% 77% MPlayer interrupted by signal 2 in module: play_audio alsa-uninit: pcm closed
This sounds familiar - I have a sound latency issue in alsa-libs 1.0.9 with bzflag. Funny is, it is only with my sound blaster (snd-ens1371). With onboard ac97-sound (snd-via82xx) there is no latency. with alsa 1.0.8, I
This sounds familiar - I have a sound latency issue in alsa-libs 1.0.9 with bzflag. Funny is, it is only with my sound blaster (snd-ens1371). With onboard ac97-sound (snd-via82xx) there is no latency. with alsa 1.0.8, I´m fine with both cards. See bug #100276.
Adding another datapoint. I have sync issues using amd64 with nvidia onboard using intel8x0 kernel driver. According to http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/index.php?vendor=vendor-Nvidia#matrix this chip always resamples to 48khz. Downgraded to 1.08 and no problems.

no alsa driver but last kernel
Cleaning out old bugs, the alsa libs mentioned arent even in the tree anymore. :) Thanks all
