Just remembered that I should have included this info in my earlier
post: I have set the buffers as per the suggestions in the xine
documentation for best performance namely, AUDIO = 400 buffers and VIDEO
= 800 buffers (see xine Settings/Setup/Engine) -- I have enough RAM to
be able to do this and, as I already stated, this has served me well
over the past years. [Kaffeine also uses the xine engine, BTW.]
