I'm having problems with low frame rates and subsequent "surging" video - the video speeds up every half-second or so to "catch up" with the lagging video rate.
I've been having this problem for months now, and sadly haven't been able to even use XBMC for some time now. I've tried building from source with the same result, and I've tried several different versions of pre-build binaries. I'm currently using 12.3 installed via apt-get. Machine is running Debian 7.1, kernel is stock (3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64). In menus I'm getting around 60fps, but when watching video it drops down to about 20fps.
I've posted a log file here:

Edit:
I seem to be able to play some files successfully. So far I've been able to play some mkv and mp4 files just fine - this may by an issue playing (some) avi files only. I've tried several avi files will similar results, while all the mkv and mp4 files I've played so far seem okay. I see lots of DEBUG: CDVDPlayerAudio:: Discontinuity1 log entries.
I never had this problem in the past (back with Debian 6). I also don't have a problem playing any video files with other players (generally VLC) - I really miss the xbmc interface though.
