Hi,

I have similar issues when using XvMC VLD HW MPEG decoding.

In my case DVB-T channels with more than one audio track cause
problems. Setting the DVB-T card's setting "HW Decoder" works
around the problem.
See my bugzilla bug: 272 at: http://www.mythtv.org/bugs,
or my mail thread:  Problem with Via VLD XVMC display and DVB

In my case I can watch PS recordings that have the two audio tracks
if I set MythTv to use standard Xv display with software MPEG decode.
So it appears to be an AVSync bug in libavcodec or libmythtv that
appears when XvMC is used ...
