+Might be a soundcard problem, if it only comes in longer intervals. Your
+soundcard does not keep it's sampling frequency accurately enough, which
+results in audio and video getting out of sync and xine has to compensate.
+Maybe switching to different drivers (alsa to oss or vise-versa) can help here.
+
+Another, whole different possibility is that you have some background process
+running which is messing with the clock (like some ntp client - chronny, ntpd,
+...).
