video not smooth anymore after recent updates in Testing

["H.S." <hs.samix@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I updated my Debian Testing machine on a few weeks ago after the Lenny
release. Since then, mplayer doesn't play the videos as smoothly as it
did earlier. When I stip forward in a video (avi video file), the video
sometime pauses as the next step and resume in jerks. Sometimes the
video just plays with random jerks throughout. This was not happening
before the upgrades. gxine also has similar (not same) trouble. I have:

Thanks.
