Hi Daniel,

I have just tried setting the number of Video buffers from 8 to 16
on the line: videoout_xv.cpp:531 vbuffers.Init(...).
This seems to work around the problem of channel changing on my
Via M10K XvMC VLD box.

Although this is covering up the problem, in the longer run
do you think it is work increasing the number of video buffers
for XvMC VLD machines where the number of XvMC surfaces available
allow this ?

Terry
