I have recently compiled and installed xbmc svn revision # 35744 on my fedora 14 x86_64 HTPC with a Radeon Mobility HD5450 video card. I have installed Catalyst 10.12 driver from ATI's website. I am solely using alsa. Pulseaudio is completely uninstalled. If I enable the option Settings -> Playback -> Sync playback to display, when I play any video, XBMC crashes as soon as I stop the video, no matter what AV Sync method I am using. Additionally, when I ff or rw videos, the audio and video gets out of sync sometimes, usually when I go at 16x or 32x. What could be the problem?

Thanks

I would like to know this as well. I have never been able to get the AV Sync to work.

[ludovicrl]

Are you using the Catalyst driver as well? This option is working fine on my other xbmc setup with an Nvidia card.

This is a bug in the ati driver.

Thanks. Good to know.
