I don't get the other two problems, at least not during playback.

In my case, the "bad" recordings will always cause the problem in 
exactly the same spot. If they weren't so huge, I'd send one to a 
willing dev.

I have seen the same problem on three different frontends. One uses 
VDPAU High, the others use VDPAU Normal.

In my case it is. Perhaps something else in your setup is causing it to 
randomly hit the same syncing problem I am able to induce with damaged 
recordings.

I guess I should try it this weekend.
