Video hardware is an AMD/ATI 780g (Radeon HD 3200).  I'm using the Open
Source Radeon driver as the proprietary one doesn't get on with myth very
well.

I've had the "Always stream from Backend" selected as well. I'm not sure 
it improved things much.

However, I also decided to see if it was doing what it should be and 
unmounted /video and it then wouldn't play anything at all.

I'm not sure what that means, to be honest.

I'm fairly sure that it's the backend that creates the RingBuf file.

What distro are you running and what is your video hardware?

Steve
