Sound lag over HDMI

[Ulrich Spörlein]

Hey,

I'm trying to setup XBMC on a -CURRENT box with an IvyBridge CPU and
GPU. While testing playback via mplayer on a LG TV over HDMI, I noticed
that sound is lagging video by about 100-200ms or so. When I switch to
using the jack outputs powered by some Realtek chip, audio is perfectly
fine.

Is HDMI lag a known problem? Can this be fixed?
