<para>General SIGILL (signal 4):</para>
<para>
Problem: you compiled and run <application>MPlayer</application> on
different machines (for example compiled on P3 and running on Celeron)
</para>
<para>
Solution: compile <application>MPlayer</application> on the same machine
where you will use it!
</para>
<para>
Workaround: You can forget all this by configuring with the
<option>--enable-runtime-cpudetection</option> option or you can
disable particular CPU instruction sets with more specific options (like
<option>--disable-mmx</option>, <option>--disable-3dnow</option>, etc).

<sect2 id="bugs-delay-all">
<title>General audio delay or jerky sound
(exists with all or many files)</title>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
most common: buggy audio driver! - try to use different drivers, try ALSA OSS
emulation with <option>-ao oss</option>, also try <option>-ao sdl</option>,
sometimes it helps. If your file plays fine with <option>-nosound</option>,
then you can be sure it's sound card (driver) problem.
</para></listitem>

<para>audio buffer problems (buffer size badly detected)</para>
<para>
Workaround: <application>MPlayer</application>'s <option>-abs</option> option
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para>
samplerate problems - maybe your card doesn't support the samplerate used in
your files - try the resampling filter (<option>-af resample=...</option>)
</para></listitem>
<listitem>
<para>slow machine (CPU or VGA)</para>
<para>
try with <option>-vo null</option>, if it plays well, then you have slow
VGA card/driver
</para>
<para>
Workaround: buy a faster card or read this documentation about how to speed up
</para>
<para>Also try <option>-framedrop</option></para>

<listitem>
<para>your sound card doesn't support 48kHz playback</para>
<para>
Workaround: buy a better sound card... or try to decrease fps by 10%
(use <option>-fps 27</option> for a 30fps movie) or use the resample filter
