I recently noticed then when playing DVDs and other audio files through VLC that the audio skips frequently. It doesn't get out of sync, just goes mute for a split second.
I tried the past few versions of VLC but it still happens, so I guess it's one of the dependencies, but I'm not sure which.
Has anyone noticed/fixed this?
I've also this, specifically when playing music via amarok and KDE setup using phonon-vlc as preferred and specifically just before and after song change.
I use both VLC, and Amarok with phonon-vlc, (on Arch; since phonon-vlc emerged around June or August) and it's been working fine the whole time.
(Except that Amarok with any backend, for me, (-xine, -gstreamer, -vlc) used to sometimes crash around song-change and now sometimes just does weird-but-predictable things around song-change. I think that's unrelated.)

What output are you using? I'm on HDMI. Here is what happens in VLC with a verbosity of 2 for every skip: [0x3415df0] main audio output debug: audio output is starving (21344), playing silence [0x3415df0] alsa audio output debug: recovered from buffer underrun I've found some forum postings on this, but can't find any definitive solutions, certainly nothing that's worked for me.
