One thing I notice with the latest release (Hardy) is that both Kaffeine and Xine are not able to play subsequent flash videos from a playlist. When one video is finished and the next one is supposed to start, libxine reports lots of skipped frames, the playpack chaotically jumps through the video and there is no sound anymore.

Xine-ui additionally reports: "The amount of dropped frames is too high, your system might be slow, not properly optimized or just too loaded", which is certainly not true.

The verbose libxine output is listed here:

If I stop the playback of the second file and start it again, this file is also played correctly. There are still some skipped frames, but this is not noticeable to me. The actual problem occurs in this playlist setup. It is reproduceable with every pair of videos downloaded from youtube or others.
