I see, these versions used 'gst' driver for audio output, unfortunately it does not work well on OS2008.

I tested also "-ao esd" and "-ao alsa" with latest version. Movies played with esd are lip-sync, but the volume level isn't restored and it seems that more performance is needed (using osd results in a choppy playback).
So looks like we just have to switch to esd for now, though it is really slower. We need to choose the less of two evils.

Adding volume level saving/restoring for esd is also not a problem.

I had no luck with alsa... playback was horrible
Yes, it does not seem to work properly for video, but playing just audio is ok. Maybe alsa support can be fixed (either fixing mplayer itself, or maemo alsa implementation depending on which one of them is buggy) and become the best option for sound output in OS2008.
