I suspect that it has something to do with the sound driver or the way that mplayer communicates with it, combined with the fact that most of these onboard sound chips are largely software driven (just check out their CPU usage on a slower machine). This perticular machine is an Athlon 1800+ and the sound plays a bit too fast (with raised pitch and all). I might be wrong about the why though.
OK, thanks for the info. I know that my sound card (builtin on my EPoX 8K5A2) uses up huge amounts of CPU time on my 1.6GHz Athlon XP. Good thing I don't listen to much of anything.

Thanks!

$ mplayer some_file.avi [snip] Linux RTC init error in ioctl (rtc_irqp_set 1024): Permission denied Try adding "echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq" to your system startup scripts.
I tried but it didn't work - turns out that there is no such directory and file. I don't know if I'm supposed to create it by hand - I'll play with it some more.
Perhaps you don't have RTC support in your kernel. Are you using the default SuSE kernel? What does the output of the following command say?: $ dmesg | grep -i "real time clock" Real Time Clock Driver v1.10e $ -- Karol Pietrzak <noodlez84@earthlink.net> PGP KeyID: 3A1446A0
