I'd love to use Miro all the time. It's such a great idea aggregating videos on top of VLC. I was there at the beginning trying it out and have tried pretty much every release since then, but all the videos I watch have little stuttery gaps in the audio every few seconds. This also happens in VLC. I've googled till my fingers bled over the years and no solution found.
So it's all but useless to me, shame as I never have problems with other players, even handling MKV, flash and other slightly more problem causing formats.
Ah well, maybe when I get a new PC someday I'll be able to really make use of this as it really deserves to do well. Right now I'd say its the only thing that can give itunes a run for its money handling lots of video podcasts.

Strange, I've found VLC to be one of the best stream players out there. Can you give an example of what you've feed to VLC that stutters?

Everything from TV shows, normal and hd movies, half a dozen podcasts like geekbrief, tekzilla, cranky geeks. the format doesn't seem to really matter, avi, mpeg4, flash, wmv, they all have this little audio gap every 5-10 seconds. In VLC preferences if i switch from directx audio to others the problem gets much worse where whole sentences will break up or the sound will go off completely.
I have an old but still ok sound card, Audigy4 pro and my system is just about in the modern era, core2 with 4gb ram in XP. There's no obvious reason why it happens but it does in every new version of VLC.
Just one of life's mysteries but I don't blame VLC or MIRO, they both have really good reputations and my little glitch is just a bit of an anomaly.
