Yet it is still choppy. I notice that xine outputs a lot of

metronom: fixing sound card drift by 3064 pts

I have also noticed that if I play (choppy) for a minute, and then 
replay that same portion, it will replay it smooth.


My software settings:

I use oss, and that seems ok:
audio_oss_out: Opening audio device...
audio_oss_out: using device >/dev/dsp<
audio_oss_out: using SNDCTL_DSP_GETODELAY
