[PlanetCCRMA] DVD playback not fluent

[Alex Timmer]

hello, some other person also suggested turning on dma. i already
tuned my drives (including the /dev/hdc) because i followed
Fernando's instructions for the planet   :)

i mentioned previously that even after turning dma on i only had
1.40MB/sec throughput for my DVDrom which i found a bit low. but
after changing the speed with the -E parameter (be careful!), things
never got better so i guess it is really at maximum performance.

bye, ALEX
