The kernel I am running is the release available at www.kernel.org as the
linux-2.4.18.tar.bz2 dated 02/25/02.  Without of any of the 2.4.19 
pre-release patches or any hacking done by a distribution vendor.
(Other than the two that I mentioned - which updates my sound card driver and 
replaces the Linux scheduler).

Everything else is RedHat 7.1

I just noticed in my /var/log/messages that the ide driver is disabling DMA 
on my dvd-rom drive.  So it is using programmed I/O.

Since VLC is a multi-thread program, (presumable video and audio decoding in 
different threads) then the Linux scheduler can seriously impact the delays 
in the two paths.

You might try changing the thread priorities while the disk is playing.
