I've seen that same thing before in other movie players when I have compiz turned on, but I assumed it was an unrelated bug. Guess not! I recall that whenever it happened, I had to restart the computer for it to go away. Interestingly though, there was a particular MPlayer output mode that didn't have the problem. Can't remember which one it was though, maybe gl or gl2.

I don't have compiz turned on anymore because of this and other reasons, but maybe I'll turn it back on to test Kraptor's findings.

Kraptor:

I have never had the 30 second freeze that you mention, and I know I've seen blinks before that were closer together than 30 seconds. However, I note that I do have the same wireless card as you, the Intel 3945.
