I have problems with almost all my h.264 avi files that have ac3. 
Seeking is broken and playback is very choppy.  I use mencoder to 
encode.  No idea if my problem is related to yours, but the use of h.264 
is common.

The problem I have was committed sometime between November 8 and June 
20.  I haven't had time to troubleshoot. Just reverted back from 
.21-fixes to an old trunk checkout.
