I'm also seeing this. MythTV 0.18 (CVS); using PVR-350 as framebuffer
with ivtv 0.3.2 p, q, 0.3.3a, c
Skipping forward/backwards or skipping commercials will hang the
frontend from time to time with the message:

2005-04-19 21:20:48.370 Waited too long for decoder to pause

I restart X (/etc/init.d/xdm restart) which restarts the frontend
automaticly and I can continue to watch.
My 1st guess was that the skipping made the PVR-350 decoder hang but I
don't get any errors from the 350 in the messages. Also, I do not need
to reset the 350, just restart the frontend.
