[mythtv] Kernel audio buffer overrun

This is a relatively minor issue, but I noticed that I was getting
continual audio glitches (very short bursts of white noise) during any kind
of high CPU activity, but with no errors mentioned. Turns out that
NuppelVideoRecorder uses SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT to create 8 kernel buffers
of size 1024 bytes, enough for 64ms of sound with the settings I was
using. Keeping the number low is nice and all, but I had to crank up the
number of kernel buffers to get MythTV to run on my old, slow computer.
It'd be nice if this was configurable or an error was mentioned in the log
(if that's even possible).
