Anyone got a moment to help me figure out my choppy playback issues with XBMC (and mplayer standalone)? First, my card's capabilities:
OS: Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid 2.6.27-7-generic
ECS GF8200A Black v1.0 (chipset gets very hot, will swap with artic silver 5 and a light fan). 4GB RAM, 512 dedicated as shared with iGPU in BIOS. AMD Athlon X2 4850e 2.5ghz.

When I try to play back using Mplayer (MPlayer dev-SVN-r28348-4.3.2 using nvidia's check-build-patch), the playback of all type sof files is very slow (mpeg2 is fastest, but still kinda skippy/jerky). When I kill mplayer I see this output:

************************************************
**** Your system is too SLOW to play this! ****
************************************************
Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
- Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
- Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
- Slow video output
- Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
- Slow CPU
- Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try some of the lavdopts,
e.g. -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all.
- Broken file
- Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
- Try -cache 8192.
- Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
- Try -nocache.

I don't get any audio through my line out jacks, I haven't tried the hdmi. The video plays the same in XBMC. My iGPU is supported and my memory and CPU requirements are above adequate. I'm using the latest drivers and mplayer builds...anyone have any ideas? Thank you.
