Public bug reported:
I reinstalled (not upgraded) from Karmic to Lucid yesterday, and I have
serious issues now when trying to playback videos.
I tried several players, including Totem, Mplayer and VLC, and all of
them show the same symptoms. When playing a video, every minute or so
the video hangs for half a second and the audio stutters, then the
playback resumes until the next hang. So much about the symptoms.
When looking at "top", I also saw that the CPU usage of of Xorg and
compiz raises from 5%/5% to about 20%/20%. I surely already tried to
disable compiz, but that didn't solve the problem. When looking at
various logfiles, I also recognized the following error message
repeating in /var/log/messages, but it those messages did not appear in
sync with the stuttering:
pulseaudio[2049]: ratelimit.c: 2 events suppressed
I am using the NVidia binary driver by the way, running a GeForce GTX
240, if that is in any way relevant.
