[vlc] Re: Tonal variation in local music playback. Memory?

[Karim Nassar]

Wow... good to know I'm not going crazy! :)

Is there anyway this could be made into an option or switch accessible 
at run-time for us non-programmers? I don't have a means to compile the 
source once modified.

this.  It tries to keep the FIFOs for the decoder and the output in sync 
by upsampling or downsampling the output.  I've found that increasing 
the threshold (in $vlc_root/include/vlc_config.h, AOUT_PTS_TOLERANCE -- 
i've changed mine to (mtime_t)(.38*CLOCK_FREQ)) fixes the issue for me, 
though i'm a bit wary.
