Perhaps part of my issues are with audio then.... I also have 2GB ram
with 512MB for video. I am booting from USB and am outputting audio
and video through hdmi to a receiver.

Do you see any buffering messages in your logs? I have just checked
and switching off vdpau has brought back some messages 4 x
prebuffering pause messages in 15 minutes.
