After recent update, I have problem with mplayer playback: there is about 12 seconds delay during the startup. I tracked down the problem to the stopping of the xscreensaver - when mplayer comes to that step, it freezes for a while, after which everything goes on normally. Here is the output of mplayer:
$ mplayer -stop-xscreensaver ./movie.avi

Well, the problem just disappeared. I do not know why though. Nothing changed, except updating the nmap package. It is a little mystery to me, maybe someone smarter could explain it to me someday...
