 I have a PII at 400 and an SB Live with kernel OSS driver (the 2.4.7 kernel
version) and NEVER had any problems with a-v sync in DVD (or ANY other
media) playing. a-v sync is JUST PERFECT!
 I remember years before when I had tried to play DVDs and DivXs with
Windows Media Player I had many a-v sync problems. But that was just an
experiment, I didn't search about the problem at all.
