I might have spoken too soon about mplayer being perfect on Diablo. I noticed last night that after ten minutes or so of video playback, it begins to drop frames. Quitting playback and resuming (thank §DEITY for that resume option!) fixes this -- for ten minutes.

I don't know whether this is my fault or not, but here are the particularities of my system:

- Diablo, last version;
- mplayer 1.0rc1-maemo.29.n8x0;
- Videos transcoded with "Nokia N800 Video Convert 0.84" at 400x240, 512 kbps video and 128 kbps audio (I tried with lower bitraes, but got no improvement);
- playing from (and this might be the culprit) a 4GB SD card, non-SDHC and rated (or rather printed on it) 150x speed. This card worked fine previously, with the occasional and familiar stutter in mplayer, and the rated speed appears to me plenty fast enough;
- no other application is running.

Has anyone noticed similar behaviour and/or (hopefully) a solution?
