This same Pi has been 100% stable with sdram_freq=600 up to and including Beta 3 - something iffy in the post Beta 3 firmware/kernel?
Are you still getting corruption with Beta 5?
Long ago if I overclocked a certain board's gpu by 1 to 251, it would cause corruption first reboot. I thought it was hardware, but now I think the hardware might have actually be fine and it is a firmware issue. I was hoping as firmware matures it might become overclockable but it seems we are going in the opposite direction, lol.

I have been using the un-offical r12669 with the omxplayer fixes, it has been working a treat. The increased buffer has made a decent difference, maybe buffer size could integrated in to gui later down the road, doesn't even have to numbers, something like small, medium, large, extra large, etc.
It has been the best build I have used, runs very fast and stable on a stock 512mb board, faster than old version on a 256mb board with decent overclocking.
The only small thing I notice still wrong with omxplayer is the slight garble of audio in the first second or two when playing files.
Great work, thanks to all the people who work very hard on this project
