[mythtv] Stuttering LiveTV 1920 x 1088

For the most part, watching LiveTV now works. I'm running an SVN from
last night (8091). But I still get massive stuttering whenever I change
channels (and the number I keyed in is displayed), and then for a few
seconds on the new channel. My last remaining challenge is getting the
local PBS channel to work right... I finally turned off 'GL Sync' and
can now get stable non-stuttering video (I'm using XvMc). I've got a
939 Athlon64 3500+ processor with 1GB memory, and a 250 GB SATA
hard-drive for video. I've got a 6600GT Nvidia (Gigabyte) video card,
and all this runs on a Biostar MB (integrated Nvidia audio). I've
attached the output from the frontend. Whenever I switch to the PBS
channel (21), the audio sounds really 'echoee', kindof like there's a
delay 'effect' being 'added'. an 'excerpt' from that trace is here:

My processor is (with GL Sync off) running at about 80%... Any ideas?
I haven't changed ANY of the defaults for video presentation. When I
toggle through the video modes with the 'w' key, the screen changes, but
the distorted audio doesn't....
