Well, jumpy video isn't too bad... My ALI 5451 (OSS emulation layer on
Alsa 0.5.12) sometimes "freezes" the whole system... It just happens
with mplayer (xmms sometimes says "couldn't open audio device" and
sometimes mpg123 takes about 10-15 minutes to start a song, but they
don't interfere with other processes...).

Just to say that in your bad luck you're lucky :-)

BYtE,
 Diego.
