I had something like this once - my playback was all stop/start with
the sound seeming to run too fast compared to the video. I fixed it by
making sure I turned off arts in KDE and turn off "Use video as time
base" in the playback settings.

Not sure if that's the same problem as your's but maybe give it a shot.
