9 Linux sound card drivers have compatibility problems. This is because | |
10 <application>MPlayer</application> relies on an in-built feature of | |
11 <emphasis>properly</emphasis> coded sound drivers that enable them to | |
12 maintain correct audio/video sync. Regrettably, some driver authors | |
13 don't take the care to code this feature since it is not needed for | |
14 playing MP3s or sound effects. | |

9675 | 20 out-of-the-box with these drivers because they use "simple" methods |

26 Using <application>MPlayer</application> with a properly written audio | |
27 driver will never result in A/V desyncs related to the audio, except | |
28 only with very badly created files (check the man page for workarounds). | |

32 If you happen to have a bad audio driver, try the <option>-autosync</option> | |
33 option, it should sort out your problems. See the man page for detailed | |
34 information. | |
