[mythtv] [PATCH] mythfrontend segfault fix

[Mike Isely]

This may or may not be the same problem, but last week I recorded a
mythfrontend SEGV in bugzilla id #181:

http://www.mythtv.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=181

In this case I get the SEGV while changing channels, but based on what
I've chased down so far (see the bug description) it seems related to
starting / stopping video streaming and I imagine that's a similar action
taking place when re-entering live TV.

I am continuing to try to debug this as I have time and since it is so
easy for me to reproduce right now, but it is slow going since I know next
to nothing about how this code is structured.  I don't think anyone has
noticed the bugzilla bug I filed.

p.s.

I also noticed that the patch regarding this discussion thread included
this little nugget:

 #ifdef USING_DIRECTX
-        if (audioOutput)
-            audioOutput->Reset();
+        audioOutput->Reset();
 #endif

Unless the patch is backwards that doesn't look like it will fix anything
and will in fact lead to another possible SEGV at least for Win32 (I
presume).
