video playback skips as user, fine as root

The title says it all.
mplayer playbacks video well as root but skips as user.
xine on the other hand skips too much frames both as root and user.

That's regardless of any video driver I use ( vesa or i810)
Tried also "mplayer -xv vo" but video still skips as user.

Note that user is added to video group

Problem solved.
Followed the "Smooth playback" part in this article

Thx to kenneth on #archlinux.

xine is still badly skipping, but mplayer is just fine.
