Gentoo from stage 1, with via... no, I'll bet my drivers are right f*cked. 
IIRC I installed the via full binaries, _but_ I _think_ I had some problems 
with the stock drivers, so then I found a patched via_drv.o X (version: 
4.3.99.901) driver at viaareana and It has seemed to fix whatever problem it 
was I was trying to fix.... Which I can't recall, oy, its been a few days 
since I've even worked on the box, and more since I was messing with drivers.

Live TV is fairly good, for a little while, but after time (which seemingly 
depends on the network traffic and other things, I played with the res and 
bitrate of the file to try and find a ballance...) I start getting 
prebuffering pauses that garbles the audio and video... BUT, that was with 
.12, I'll be trying .13 soon, AND changing my sound to use adsp instead of 
/dev/dsp. That may help with the sound problems I've been getting with xine 
in freevo, and may in fact help mythtv considerably...

Ok, well I was messing with adsp vs. dsp, and with my current settings the 
sound's gotten a bit worse I think, I'll have to play with it more...
