[mythtv-users] mythfrontend locking up... audio buffer problem?

This happens with playing back previously recorded files and live tv, so
I dont think it's the capture card (pvr250).  My screen resolution is a
bit out of wack, so I can't tell what's set or isn't  -- however, I'm
now thinking that it might be something else, and the errors I see are
just a manifestation of the problem -- as other people with that error
usually have the sizes in the buffer change as they experience audio
getting out of sync.  I'm guessing some other thread is locked, and the
audio thread is running printing out this message.  I'll try changing
the audio settings and seeing if that does anything.  Else I migth have
to bust out gdb.

Thnx,
Reza
