While we're on the subject of settings/fixes... Has anybody come up with settings for either smplayer or mplayer to play movies without skipping and lagging in KDE.
In case this is still an issue, I noticed in another thread
this magic spell. With root privileges, run this command:

renice 0 `pidof mmcqd`

Music and videos play *much* better for me now

(a little experimentation suggests that a nice value of +5
is even better, but it might just be the placebo effect )
