[kde-linux] KDE introduces pauses during DVD playing

[Paulo J. Matos]

Hi all,

I'm guessing that some KDE component or KDE itself are interfering
with DVD playing.
This is because I've been in the last few days, trying to find a
reason (and blaming xine itself) due to pauses in DVD reproduction
either using xine-ui or kaffeine. However, using xine-ui under E16
results in no pauses at all... everything is smooth. If I logout and
enter KDE I also enter the realm of pauses. Well, I'm quite surprised.
I really don't know when this started but it wasn't always like this.
It could well be when I upgraded to 3.5.5 but I cannot be sure.

I would like comments on ideas to figure out what is happening, what
could interfere with DVD playing or pause the system at all.

Regards,
