I have soms serious audo/video sync issues with the new frodo xbmc. I've use the guid mentiond in de the first post with the Catalyst 12.9 Quantal.
Performance seems great, ony about 20% CPU usage. But when playing a video, it seems a bit laggy and there are some little freezes noticeable. (verry small freezes). Perhaps these freezes are the couse of the problemes.
AMD e450 board with optical audio output (HDMI gives the same lag).
The settings in xbmc
Playback
[*]Render method - auto
[*]allow hardware xvba
[*]Adjust display refreshrate to match video - always
[*] pauze during refresh rate (0 - 20 sec) i've tried everyting in between 0 - 20.
