When I view a video in most any application (totem, parole, mplayer, vlc, minitube), the video and audio are terribly out of sync. The video generally will start to stutter as well. I've noticed that zsnes suffers from the same issues.

Could this be indicative of hardware issues or is there something I can tweak in software to handle this? I'm running Trisquel on an Eee PC (X101CH).

It's a good indicator that your computer isn't able to process this in real time. That could be due to a lack of hardware accelerated graphics, meaning the heavy lifting is pushed onto the CPU which can't keep up. Try other formats. Try low-res versions. I've had some success with resizing the video in VLC (using the Zoom function) to Half or Quarter size.
