Then I tried "-autosync 30" which improved things a bit - movie was still playing extremely slowly, but it at least *displayed* that A/V were in sync. Well, no huge improvement... Then I tried to insert a filter which always converts the sample rate to 48000 Hz (as this seems to work with one movie perfectly) - voila! Did the trick! I inserted (right after the default filter): pcm.Filter_RateConvert { type rate slave { pcm "Filter_Duplex" rate 48000 } } > > Personally I've found ALSA's plugins very difficult to get working > > reliably across a number of different programs, so the behaviour you > > describe doesn't surprise me at all.

This sounds a bit annoying - ALSA is supposed to be robust software (it seems like it's been there forever) - is this part still work in progress? Thanks all for your help and pointers!
