oops, sorry, i confused the two of you (marcel and michael - i've got a
bad hash-function for names working in my mind... everything that starts
with the same letter tends to become confused #-))

now i'm using the latest emu10k1 (oss) driver and the gaps problem is
still here (actually for me it's: another problem with my oss installation
related to passthrough seems to have gone away and the gaps problem is
back again), when the closedir call is in osd.c - for the time being i
commented it out and commited this to cvs. i figure it doesn't do much
good to have this problem in cvs. i would rather have cvs working until a
real solution and an explanation is found (in particular i wouldn't want
the next xine release to accidentally be broken for passthrough).

maybe everyone could check if the current cvs still has any passthrough
problems on their configuration (oss, alsa, whatnot) - then we'll at least
know if there are other issues with a52 passthrough which are still
unresolved.
