Yep, same results. In frontend log:
2005-04-18 23:07:18.453 Changing from None to WatchingPreRecorded
2005-04-18 23:07:18.453 Using realtime priority.
2005-04-18 23:07:24.259 prebuffering pause
2005-04-18 23:07:24.268 prebuffering pause
2005-04-18 23:07:24.485 GetNextFreeFrame() unable to lock frame 100 
times. Discarding Frames.

...but ff/rew seems to be working, if a bit choppy. The frames don't 
quite fill the screen while seeking; there is a blue band visible at 
the bottom of my picture until I resume playback. It was the same 
before the patch, the upshot being ff/rew no longer freezes. Using Xv 
here with tonight's CVS and Daniel's patch.
