Sort of along the sames line as the OP's problem, I noticed that my 
system (dual core P4 3.2) playing OTA HD at 720p uses about 35-40% CPU 
on one core and 10% on the other, but playing SD I get 99% usage on one 
CPU and about 20% usage on the other. Very wacky. Playing SD I see a lot 
of this in the log:

2008-02-10 17:46:56.937 AO: Broadcasting free space avail
2008-02-10 17:46:56.937 WriteAudio: Preparing 6144 bytes (1536 frames)
2008-02-10 17:46:56.937 AO: audio waiting for space on soundcard: have 
1536 need 6144
2008-02-10 17:46:56.952 NVP: A/V Divergence: -0.817329, Rate: 
0.00272733, Warpfactor: 0.99126, warpfacto

However playback is fine, so I'm not too concerned about it, but it does 
seem odd that SD is using more than double the CPU of HD. This is with 
no XvMC for either SD or HD. I guess what I'm saying is that it does 
seem like a sound problem.
