Choppy MP3 and DVD playbacks

[Emeric Maschino <emeric.maschino@diamant.jouy.inra.fr>]

Hi,

I'm running Sarge (updated daily) on a hp workstation i2000 with 
the K Desktop Environment. I've noticed that MP3 and DVD playbacks 
are really choppy with the KDE multimedia applications (don't know 
for the GNOME applcations). For the DVD playback, DMA is enabled 
however. In fact, I think DVD playback is choppy because the soundtrack 
gets out of sync.

Can anybody confirm or infirm this? Is this problem specific to the 
IA-64 architecture? Or to KDE? Or both? Or anything else?

Thank you and have a nice day.
