Re: aviplay bug: hangs during initialization

I started using aviplay a few days ago, and had a hard time to compile it.
I have version 0.7.38, on my desktop, with a GeForce 2 card.
No  problem at all, but AC3 DMP sound (--ac ffac3 solves it).

I recompiled everything on my old laptop, Dell inspiron 7500, ati rage 
mobility card,
with gatos xv extension. The system is suposedly identical to my desktop:
redhat 7.3, ximian-gnome 1.4.

Well, on the laptop I had the same problem described on october 2003: randon 
freezing during
initialization. Initially I thought it was related to the XV extension, but 
the behaviour was
completely random.

In my case if I run aviplay with the option --quiet, the problem disappears.
I do not know why,  but this solved my problem. Is a pentium III 600 too 
slow?
I have never had any problem like that witn mplayer, ogle, vlc, etc...

Maybe someone might give a better explanation.

I hope this help.
