[mythtv] AVSync Problem on entering recorded playback

I'm only seeing this with recorded content, live TV works fine. Also
this is only with SD content, not pushing the box at all (less than
50% CPU usage and no prepuffering pauses).

Haven't noticed audio/video slowdown then speed up again. Not sure why
you'd be seeing that, the video speed should be constant when using
video as timebase unless AV get more than 3 frames out of sync.

It's definitely a problem with MythTV directly, from the debugging
i've done the AVSync code is clearly failing. Done a bit of code
review of that area and there's quite a lot of undocumented 'magic'
going on, especially with the audio 'warpfactor' calculation. I'll
keep digging and see if it can't be improved.
