My guess was that the "Ouch" messages were dropped frames. oh dear, no, the Ouch messages are produced by a brain-dead audio driver. Unfortunately xine still depends on the audio driver as a clock device, I hope this will change soon. Until then, I suggest you try a different driver. If you're using oss drivers now, try ALSA or if you're using alsa, try oss. If you're using alsa, make sure you're using xine's native ALSA (xine -A alsa ) interface and not the oss emulation. The real statistics on how many frames xine displayed/skipped/discarded is printed every 200 lines (I guess you didn't see it in the flood of "Ouch" messages ;)) and looks like "200 frames delivered, ? frames skipped, ? frames discarded) > I was indeed using 0.3.1 from the .deb package. Hey Sigg, another debian user! (I guess he'll like to hear that ;)) > I saw a post to this list in the archives about someone implementing > "pause fastforward and rewind". Is this in the works? pause should be (somewhat) working (space key), fastforward should be easy as soon as we're syncing on the system clock (instead of the sound card), but rewind is hard to implement for mpeg streams because all motion compensation is reversed then - don't expect that to soon. But you can skip around using the number keys ("5"->50%, "1"->10 %...) and in our 0.3.2 release you'll have a slider for that as well.
