[mythtv] Mythmusic visualizations lagged??

[Eric Reischer]

Is it me (or my machine), or do some of the "better" mythmusic 
visualizations (Goom, synaesthesia, bumpscope) seem to lag the playback 
music by 1/2 - 3/4 of a second?  Mad props to the folks who wrote 
Goom....it's an awesome visualization, but it doesn't seem to get along 
real well with slower machines.

Configuration:  Playing MP3s in the 160-192kbit range, 1GHz PIII, 512MB, 
ATI 3D Rage IIC AGP (w/Vanilla kernel driver & XFree86 4.3.0).

I also noticed that Goom likes to segfault mythfrontend when played in 
full-screen mode for any more than a minute or so, but runs fine when in 
the mythmusic window.  I've read from a while back that this is a CPU 
problem, which I can believe since mythfrontend uses 80% and XFree86 uses 
the additional 20 when running in full-screen mode.  I'm presuming a 
half-decent NVIDIA card with the NVIDIA hardware-accelerated driver would 
resolve this though.  Any thoughts about the lag though, or am I the only one?

TIA,
Eric

P.S. -- Awesome software package.  Everyone drools over it whenever I have 
guests.
