I've found that simply shelling out the $35 (US) for the real OSS drivers fixed
all my onboard audio troubles. Intel i810 AC97 Shuttle XPC nVidia.

The problem I ran into today was with the live preview window in the play a
recording menu while recording. The preview choked and the one minute load
average shot to 5.60 and stayed there. Had to kill mythbackend and lose my
recording to get control.

I'm going to update from CVS again tonight and see if I can recreate the problem.
