Did the dvd work with an older version of my dvd patches? The switch to liba52 
also slightly changed the pts generation. So far i haven't observed any 
problems with that, but who knows.....
Also, there are certain dvd's where the audio/video syncing of the card simply 
can't keep up with the way the datastream is (mis-)mixed. Switching a/v 
syncing off usualy helps, but might lead to desyncs later in the movie.
You could try to change all AUDIO_SET_AV_SYNC ioctls to false.

i don't think there is a driver problem (aside from the fact that menus should 
work with older drivers too, i used to run as 20011217 driver for quite some 
time).
