"CDVDPlayerAudio:: Discontinuty", this was accompained with "avdecode drops packet incomplete packet consumed" and FPS drop into the 14-19 range.
In my case, Lucid 10.04.2 with XBMC, the errors went away after I disabled all additional audio processing.
I had setup a virtual audio device to send the audio to both HDMI and analog stereo output, plus boost volume on downmix. I have only TV speakers, no 5.1 speaker audio system.
I suspected a CPU utilization issue after I noticed that the video would stutter/drop frames especially with my higher definition content and, if there was a lot of audio content going on files with more than 2 audio channels in them.
I disabled the Pulseaudio additional virtual device (set all to defaults), and set XBMC to just send the audio to only HDMI, no volume boosting.
Rumors put the blame to Pulseaudio spiking the CPU. I been trying to solve this riddle long enough to want to keep messing with it. Let me watch tv for now!
