Have you tried playing the file in mplayer from the command line?  If it  
does clip in mplayer, try playing the file with a "-vo null" switch from  
the mplayer CLI to remove the video and reduce the processor utilisation.   
This should differentiate between an overloaded processor, MythTV playback  
and underlying ALSA issues.

Cheers,

Matt.
