The frame dropping I've seen with kfir captures tends to involve losing 
the tail end of a frame picture or two.  Sometimes it'll take audio with 
it too, sometimes you'll have audio without the picture.

However, a good player should be able to keep sync between video and audio 
even with stuff missing, I thought.  At some point I want to dig into the 
sync info in both the video and audio streams to see if there is an actual 
problem or not.
