Nope. I run xine from a terminal and I don't use --stdctl. I forgot to
say that xine produces a lot of "bad_frame" messages in the terminal.
Maybe it has some meaning?

I've just run strace and it showed hundreds of:

ioctl(4, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
select(5, [4], NULL, NULL, {0, 33000})  = 0 (Timeout)

and also (but not so many):

futex(0x8168ee4, FUTEX_WAIT, 809, NULL) = 0
futex(0x8168f18, FUTEX_WAKE, 1)         = 1

I have no idea what it means but the former don't seem good, does it?
