0.9.4 did not change any thing - every audio still stutters. This is what I get in the messages window:

I tried it against 0.8.6h and had no problems, no stutter and the statistic shows only a few dropped audio frames and I can scroll - also only a few dropped audio frames. Then I checked the same thing with 0.9.4 and surprise - it did not stutter any more. That maks me wonder what was going on and tried it again.
Looks to me that 0.8.6h does some prefetching or MacOS X does some sort of caching, because if I open the same video-file with 0.9.4 AFTER I had it opened with 0.8.6h there is no stutter for sometime (the first few minutes of the video) after that stutter starts again and statistic show only dropped audio frames - video plays smoothly.
Hope this helps to debug this error, bye

P.S. Just downloaded vlc-git-intel-20081012-0054 from the nightly-builds and NO stutter any more
P.S.S. This nightly build crashes often when I try to scroll forward/backward - well it is a nightly build
