Every DVD I played with mplayer so far needed a delay of about -200 ms 
for good A/V sync.

CPU is only a Celeron433, but from the CPU load and the fact that 
mplayer doesn't drop frames, I'd say this is fast enough.

Soundcard is a Soundblaster PCI64 (Ensoniq ES1371). Same Problem with 
OSS (both kernel drivers and commercial) and ALSA (both 0.5 and 0.9).

So my question to all of you who claim perfect A/V sync with DVD 
playback: What's your CPU? Which soundcard/driver combination dou you use?
