I think it could come from your files since we don't have this problem 
usualy. I think you can try few things:
  1. Could you upload on of your files so that I look at it ?
  2. Could you try with a 'standard' file ?
      (see in ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/streams/)
  3. Look if you still have the problem with the new streamer in the 
current CVS version.
