I've switched back to PS recording - not being able to skip through 
parts of the show is annoying me more than having to hit '+' to 
re-acquire sound.  I'm trying to debug the dropout of the sound.  A 
quick question though...  How did you upgrade to CVS HEAD?  Did you do 
a full reinstall (i.e. let myth create a new mythconverg mysql 
database), or did you upgrade from a previous version.  If so, which 
version?

Cheers,
