6.10 upgraded to Feisty (up to date) on a machine with gm855 chipset did not show any problems at first, but after installing several codecs (multiverse, medibuntu) the problem occured.

My findings:
VLC, gxine and totem-gstreamer do not cause the problem, and they're not affected
totem-xine causes the problem, and is affected
kaffeine (uses xine, medibuntu package) causes the problem

Affected meaning that a previous program showed the effect, and now the current player shows the symptoms.

So possibly xine-related?
