Comment 8 for bug 1291601

Hi Sebastian

Thanks again for your detailed description. With respect to cpu usage I have compared watching a HD video in XBMC and Pipelight:

xbmc hd
cpu utilization: ~20%
gpu utilization: ~25%
video encode utilization: ~40%
GPU mem usage: 75%

pipelight
cpu utilization: ~85%
gpu utilization: ~30-40%
video encode utilization: 0%
GPU mem usage: 85%

This is properly where I see the difference between GPU accelerated decoding and rendering.

I'am certain there is somthing wrong with pulseaudio. The video lacking I have experienced gets worse when I keep watching a movie. After approx. 2 minutes the video and sound is completely asynchronous and video lacking gets worse.

pulseaudio -k or PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC doesn't change anything. I have followed the guide in https://answers.launchpad.net/pipelight/+faq/2444. However, after using winetricks I don't see any alsa options in my audio tab. Only four different HDMI options, which all can play when using the test sound button. However, there no difference when putting on a netflix movie.
