I'm pretty sure that it isn't a hardware problem in my case because it
was working fine when I had Fedora 7 and an earlier version of MythTV
0.21+fixes installed.

I will admit that this is the only item on the Prebuffering pause wiki
page
<http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting:Prebuffering_pause>
that I can't 100% eliminate.  Not only don't I have another sound card
to try, but the motherboard that I'm using only has two PCI slots, both
of which are occupied.
