Can those who had problems with audio/video synchronization on some files test these files with the latest version mplayer_1.0rc1-maemo.14.800 again and report results? I have rewritten mp3 audio passthrough fake decoder to make audio/video work better with variable bitrate audio. On the other hand, that's relatively a lot of changes, so testing is required to ensure that nothing else got broken. Please don't hesitate and report any problems.
As of .13.800, MPlayer started for the first time to play in the expected way all the files I have (various 300-1500 MB avi's with different codecs, not encoded exclusively for N800 but for my desktop linux PC). I had never had problems with audio sync. However, concerning the second problem from the changelog, I can confirm that under .14.800 my N800 doesn't hang anymore when seeking forward (or backward, as it is). Before .13.800 the seeking was extremely unstable, in .13.800 it was improved. My tests with several video files, consisting of frequent jumping forward and backward, caused under .14.800 no hangs at all.

Not to forget, thank you Serge indeed for your efforts, without your work on porting MPlayer, the 8 GB card in my N800 would be quite useless.
