Thanks for all the replies, sorry for delay, haven't been able to check e-mail for a couple of days.
I can't perform any updates at the moment as I have no broadband and can only connect via bluetooth and my mobile phone. Long, long, long, long story involving TalkTalk, Tiscali, OFCOM & BT. In short, my tag is no longer on my line and it's clear for other broadband suppliers. However when BT Wholesale (and other broadband suppliers) try to do a test order it throws it back because of a problem with BT's database that BT are trying to fix (for some months now). In the meantime the only way round it is to try and find a broadband supplier that is prepared to do a "manual order". The only one I've found so far is Demon Internet so it looks like I'll be going with them. BT have really annoyed me though.
Anyway, after several hours mucking about I've fixed the audio sync problem by switching the audio output in MPlayer to OSS instead of ALSA. All is fine but the only thing that bugs me about it is that I was under the impression that on my Ubuntu 6.06 box, OSS is actually emulated OSS support under, err ALSA. So really whether MPlayer is set to OSS or ALSA it's actually ALSA doing the work. Am I wrong?
It works so I'm not going to get too stressed about it but you are right an update should hopefully sort it out. Thanks all.
