is this a recent change in the SVN - should i update and recompile it ?

does this mean after 30 seconds of being synced then the independent 
playback will kick in and the audio/video sync lag will be able to 
rectify itself?

ok so i have 8 computers each playing a 720HD mkv file with 5.1 sound - 
each playback computer needs to have the video and 5.1 in sync and each 
of the 8 computers also in sync - the material on each of the playback 
computers is different but of equal duration - the udp master slave 
thing seemed like it might be a solution but the lack of absolute sync 
between the audio and video within each machine is a problem
any suggestions on how to make this happen would be most appreciated

thanks
