Hi Mikael. First I'd install Qjackctl, which is a GUI where you can get to the
settings for jack, and also has a midi connections section.
If your soundcard is an hda intel based one, I've seen that changing the
Periods/Buffer in Qjackctl's setup, from 2 to 3, can fix stuttery sound, and
only last night verified that while playing something on ZynAddSubFX synth,
where the sound was all stuttery before changing the Period/Buffer to 3.
I don't use Mplayer to play mp3's, but the above is worth a try
Nigel.
