Comment(by anonymous):

 Can you please add a flag to force startup of mythtv even if the pulse
 audio server is running? I have my system configured to use pulse and I
 don't notice any significant audio delay. (I'm using realtime and
 outputting over hdmi if it matters.) In addition, I'm sure pulse will
 continue to improve as it matures, so having it completely blocked now
 (without editing the source) might be detrimental to future users.

 Thanks!

 > (In [20310]) Refs #5473. Adds a check for PulseAudio at startup of
 mythfrontend and mythtv. PulseAudio causes delays that range randomly
 between 500-2000 ms when playing back audio, so we abort startup if the
 pulse audio server is currently running.
 > Note: I've referenced a ticket that adds PulseAudio support to MythTV,
 but even using the PulseAudio API's the delay is still 300 ms; if we can
 get that down in the 20 to 50 ms range we can adjust when we display the
 video frames to compensate for the delay (which we should be doing anyway
 when using multiframe deinterlacers).
