Modified Files:
   in MC/libs/libNuppelVideo:
        RingBuffer.cpp RingBuffer.h NuppelVideoRecorder.cpp 
Log Message:

Three changes resulted from an afternoon spent figuring out why it crashed
most of the time when transitioning from LiveTV to Recording+Watching.

* Pause the recorder's write thread before telling the ringbuffer to 
  transitionToFile. This did not fix the bug, but I believe the change
  is correct.
* Made the ringbuffer's reset function acquire the write lock, instead of
  the read lock (so that totalwritepos etc. really get zeroed out)
* Fixed a whoopsie in the ring buffer, where it calculates whether it
  is reading past the end of the buffer or not. This should never have been
  looking at dumpfw. That was just brain damaged.

Hopefully the locking change wont cause deadlocks or anything.
