Yes, the hang is after that last line. On the console, after I pkill
mythfrontend, it says Terminated after the last line posted above. I
can't see how to launch mplayer with a particular buffer size, but I
see aplay has a buffer-size and period-size parameters. I'll try to
experiment with this later. I'm wondering if it has something to do
with my overriding of the built-in ALSA devices (i.e., !default,
!surround51, etc.).

Thanks,
