Nope. I run xine from a terminal and I don't use --stdctl. I forgot to say that xine produces a lot of "bad_frame" messages in the terminal. Maybe it has some meaning? I've just run strace and it showed hundreds of: ioctl(4, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 select(5, [4], NULL, NULL, {0, 33000}) = 0 (Timeout) and also (but not so many): futex(0x8168ee4, FUTEX_WAIT, 809, NULL) = 0 futex(0x8168f18, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 1 I have no idea what it means but the former don't seem good, does it? -- Jarek <lt.munro@xxxxxxxxx>
