Just a thought.  It seems to be waiting for video buffer space from the video card.  It also seems that your using VDPAU with an NVidia card.  Did you try switching your video playback profile to OpenGL or something other than VDPAU?  If that works correctly then try using a different VDPAU Profile like Slim and see if that helps.  Maybe your video card just isn't keeping up with decoding the video data causing the buffer to fill making the player wait which in turn makes the audio driver mad because the audio buffer is empty.

Because decoding is offloaded to the video card, it can cause the GPU to get pretty hot.  Make sure your video card cooler is working!!!!  An overheating GPU may cause the GPU to slow down in order to protect the GPU Processor.

VDPAU is awesome and I use it with a PCI-e 16x 8500 Series NVidia card without any issues at all.  Also make sure you have the latest version of VDPAU installed and recompile MythTV of course after updating VDPAU.

Just food for thought.
