It was described several times in August firmware thread.
After jumping 10% (or whatever) sound dissappears, after next jump player freezes, then you cannot play any file of any kind - you will be returned to file list. Only hard reboot return ability to play (but not such files). Problem was confirmed by several users in August. This problem exists only in two last firmwares.

[VelvetPaw]

AFAIK it concerns Xvid files with MPEG1 Audio.
Should I give you links to the claims of other users or as far as you have no such problem we have to sit silent?
