Hi Craig,

I have just completed the ALSA 9 driver install.  I just checked Myth and 
it still had the jerkiness problem with live TV :(.  I am going to reboot 
just to make sure I don't have two sound drivers etc loaded.  In the mean 
time, here is the output from xvinfo.  Anything you can suggest to tune 
things up would be greatly appreciated - especially since we have very 
similar settings.  I am also running the latest NVIDIA driver.
