I'm using latest NVidia drivers (1.0-6601 and it's working without a freeze so 
far. I have tried extensive resizing and window-movement with no dropouts at 
all.
The only thing I found so far is the following:
- mute sound
- switch channel
- resize window
- sound suddenly unmutes

without switching the channel this does not seem to happen, I'm going to debug 
that here (I think it should always unmute because of calling startVideo() on 
a resize which in turn calls setMuted(false) ).

Btw, why is there an unmute in startVideo() anyway? Maybe it should only do 
that on creation but not on a normal resize.

Bye, Stefan aka mETz
