[mythtv] [PATCH] AC3 audio and Via Unichrome XvMC

[Jan Örnstedt]

Isaac,

I tried CVS from yesterday with Marks patch. It worked great!

For the first time I managed to get DVB & AC3 & Unichrome working
nicely. Changing channels went fast as fast as it used todo with my old
PVR 250.

But when I tried latest CVS with your fixes I was back with a non
working system. 

Typical issue is that when starting to watch a channel I always get to
be aprox 10 secs behind. So mythtv will warn on channel changes because
I am after real time. This didn't happen with Marks patch.
And as I reported earlier I can not change channels unless I change
channel and immediatly exit and then reenter. If I don't do this
mythfrontend will crash.

Unfortunatly I will be away from home so I can't test this anymore until
next week.

Regards
Janne
