I really have no idea of which settings to try next. Configuring xine-ui is not really an easy thing.
Few people have reported audio problems in xine-lib version 1.1.9.
The setting audio.synchronization.slow_fast_audio (discussed here http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2008-January/015210.html) might help.
Also changing audio.synchronization.av_sync_method and/or audio.synchronization.resample_mode may have an effect on your audio problems.
This patch should fix it. If you find that it works, report back and I'll make sure that it gets committed.
I'm not using any xine related functionality with VDR, but I tried the patch below.
Unfortunately it makes things even worse for me with Amarok than vanilla 1.1.9.1 - with vanilla 1.1.9.1 audio was ok until I tried to play a radio stream, then nothing until restart. With this patch, the same breakage appears to occur much more frequently, looks like audio gets lost when trying to play a 2nd song after a fresh restart (quickly tried in a session where I first played a MP3 (success), then tried a FLAC (fails), and everything else fails after that, no need to even involve radio streams).
Reverting this changeset fixes these problems for me. http://hg.debian.org/hg/xine-lib/xine-lib?cmd=changeset;node=1867fae812913d2...
