Right, my previous testing was with omxplayer which plays video and the glitchy audio with all deinterlace settings (off, on, auto).
With dvdplayer and deinterlace set to either Auto or On (unlike omxplayer, it's necessary to stop and restart dvdplayer after changing the deinterlace setting), I get no video only audio. In fact it's just made the Pi freeze but it hasn't crashed, an ssh session is still going but responding very slowly to key presses, so it seems as though some xbmc.bin thread has gone into overdrive. After about 1-1.5 minutes the audio has now resumed (intermittently, very stuttery) with ssh also responding, and I've finally been able to stop the video playing and regain control (edit: just noticed 100% of my swap - 128MB - is now in use, so maybe the "freeze" was due to an out of control memory issue - looks like a big chunk of RAM has been leaked somewhere, I'm down from my usual 163MB free at idle to only 70MB free at idle).
With dvdplayer, and deinterlace off, both video and audio play fine. Interestingly dvdplayer (with deinterlace off) handles the audio channel changes without any glitching.
