I installed the Audigy card.  Configured Myth to use it via ALSA:default and 
/dev/dsp.  Upgraded to 7611 and that fixed the blue screen problem when turning 
on the "Extra audio buffering" option.

If I turn on "Extra audio buffering" and "Use video as a timebase" I get a 
little video and audio blip every 5-10 seconds.  It's like it looses 1-2 frames 
and has to adjust during the blip.  Kinda annoying.

If I just have "Extra audio buffering" enabled, it will play perfect for about 
8-10 seconds and then start giving me small stutters.  I think it might be 
running out of buffers in this case.  If I have the "Extra audio buffering" 
turned off, it stutters really bad.  Is there a way to increase the size of the 
buffers?

I'm still at a complete loss why 18.1 played perfectly well on my hardware and 
current SVN is having problems.  But that is what we are trying to figure out.
