[xine-user] Bugs/problems with 0.9.2

[<arr...@ra...>]

I hope nobody minds my sending this to both the dvdnav and xine lists.  It's
not always clear which part a problem is caused by.  Anyway, I just got 0.9.2
of both programs and here's some results:

System: Mandrake 8.0, XFree86 4.0.3, Matrox G400, Thunderbird 850, obscure
sound card running under Alsa 5.  Alsa 9 doesn't work for this sound card.

First, some general problems:
-- The v and V keys to control volume don't work at all.  I can still
change the volume using tools like aumix, but I can't change the volume
within Xine.
-- xine --help says nothing at all about interlace modes.
-- Subtitles have the same problem I've seen in previous versions; if the
subtitle contains more than one color, the second color is offset a few pixels
from the first color.  This is much easier to notice if the subtitles are not
white.
-- DVD menus that have options to select subtitles don't seem to work.  The
subtitle doesn't really get selected when the DVD is played.
-- I still get a sound problem: the sound has clicks and pops in it at times,
particularly in the louder parts of voices.  It doesn't always happen to the
same degree--it's usually mild, but is really, really, bad on the Dolby
Digital trailer on Royal Warriors.
-- Sound doesn't work on Dracula (1931).  I get a lot of
    audio_out: inserting 47988 0-frames to fill a gap of 90000 pts
I have a possibly bootleg Hong Kong anime DVD that *sometimes* does not have
sound; this appears to change depending on how I move the cursor on the menu.
Commparing a run with sound and a run without sound shows no nontrivial
differences except for a lot of 47988 0-frame lines again.
-- Savior of the Soul (Hong Kong) segfaults.  Examining the core file shows
me the following:
