DVD for Linux - audio problem

[Anita Lewis]

Hi.  I got the Plextor Combo CDRW/DVD player.  I can burn cds in linux and
use that fine.  I installed MPlayer and compiled my kernel to enable dma.  I
then figured out how to use hdparm to enable the dma on hdc and still have
the thing set to scd0.  

So, I now get the movie going just fine at the right speed with audio.  Very
nice for about 15 seconds and then the audio cuts out.  The video keeps
going which makes me think that the bus speed is ok.  Anyone here know
anything about this?  Maybe MPlayer is a little complex for the job.  I was
going to try Xine, but I saw that they don't decode.  I had to install the
lib for css separately for MPlayer too; so maybe that is what you do with
Xine.  

MPlayer mentions possible buggy sound driver in their docs, but the sound is
perfect for that short time.
