[kaffeine-user] sound delay viewing dvb-s in kaffeine

[Jordi M. <jor...@gm...>]

hi everyone,

i'm experiencing some delay-related problems with kaffeine and satellite 
tv. It doesn't happen while watching DVD, neither with kaffeine nor with 
vlc.

The thing is that, while viewing some channels on satellite TV, the 
sound comes like half a second later than the picture. Sometimes it's 
even closer, less than half a second, but there's always a delay. In 
some other channels there's never a delay. Finally, in other channels 
where you can watch German series, for example, i watch them dubbed in 
English. The original audio has no delay, but when i switch to English, 
again, it appears half a second (or less) after the picture.

has anyone else experienced this?

I'm running kubuntu 8.04 and kaffeine version 0.8.6.

I've tried also to install several newer and older versions of kaffeine 
and ffmpeg codecs from source code, but there's always the same delay.

My card is a lifeview pci trio, saa7134. Do you think it has to be with 
the card itself? As i said, other versions of kaffeine and ffmpeg behave 
the same way. I don't think the card is malfunctioning, though. The 
reason is that in the same machine there's also a windows partition, 
where the card seems to tune all the channels without any delay at all.

May be there's a workaround for this? I don't know.. may be an option i 
can set in kaffeine that "forces" the picture to appear half a second 
later? may be a plugin?

Thanks in advance for your help.
