additional description:
----------------------

I'm using the AC3 pass though to get my external decoder to handle the DTS
signal. However, after the DVD has played for 10-15 secs, the "fixing sound
card drift" kicks in, and one of these are displayed every second. After
9-10 of these, the sound simply stops (or starts clicking) - If I then seek
a bit in the stream, the sound comes back for another 10-15 secs.

Normal stereo (non-AC3 pass though) works perfectly though. I tried other
DVD players (mplayer and ogle), but there's no problem with the AC3 there.

In the output above, the first chunk of "metronom" messages are from the
pre-menu intro on the DVD, and the next chunk is from the actual movie.
