[mythtv] Fwd: Playback sometimes freezes on jump or FF / stream time position problem

[mythtv at merkx.demon.nl]

Well, I have downgraded my driver to version 0.3.2f, and it works like a
charm again...

If I have time this evening I'll try and figure out at what version the
problem was introduced (jumped from f to m and then to p; m and p both
have the problem).

For me, 0.3.2f is the most stable yet...

Stanley.
