Changes (by Janne <janne-mythtv at grunau.be>):

  * version:  => head
  * type:  defect => patch
  * summary:  the attempt to nice the scheduler thread doesn't work =>
              replace not working pthread_setschedparam for
              SCHED_OTHER with setpriority

Comment:

 The only supported priority for policy SCHED_OTHER is 0. And for every
 other sched_param pthread_setschedparam fails with EINVAL for me.
 setpriority() seems to work as intended.

 Attached patch converts also the other occurances of pthread_setschedparam
 with SCHED_OTHER to setpriority().

 This might solve the playback issues some people see with EIT processing.
