With X4.3 and ogle 9.0 video and audio work during the intro to
the DVD menu, then selecting 'play movie' video becomes very
choppy and audio output stops.

no, have audio during the main menu, then play movie -no- audio

I deinstall the ogle 9.0 and hack ports back to 8.5 version, except
for the:
---hack to ogle port Makefile---------
LIB_DEPENDS= a52.0:${PORTSDIR}/audio/liba52 \
dvdread.3:${PORTSDIR}/multimedia/libdvdread \
^^^^^^^^^
instead of dvdread.2
--------------------------------------
Then ogle works fine, audio and video. I hacked the dvdread from
.2 to .3 to make sure that dvdread was not causing the problem.

Gnome 2.2 with:
hw.snd.targetirqrate: 32
hw.snd.report_soft_formats: 1
hw.snd.verbose: 1
hw.snd.maxautovchans: 4
hw.snd.pcm0.buffersize: 0
hw.snd.pcm0.vchans: 4
Xmms and GStreamer Player 0.5.0
both handle audio files fine.
I am not sure if I am using esound, find no reference to esd or
esound in my 'ps -wuax' output while playing an mp3.
Also in Gnome Applications > Desktop Preferences > Sound I do
_not_ have 'Enable sound server startup' checked on.
While playing an mp3 wit Gstreamer an lsof shows this:
daggar># lsof | grep dsp
gst-playe 23125 stephen 19w VCHR 30,3 0t77541560 722 /dev/dsp0.0

I am certainly willing to help troubleshoot this, thanks for
your help.
