Hi,

I hope it's not bad form to post this to the development list.  If so, please
don't hesitate to guide me to the right place.  I recently compiled the latest
stable on my Mandrive LE2006 box and have been very happy with it.  One thing
I've noticed is that when I hit FF past the 3x speed, the video eventually
locks after a few seconds and a whole bunch of 'Prebuffer Pause" errors hit the
frontend log.

Here is some of my system information:
Hardware:
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
model name : AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3100+
Manufacturer: EMACHINES
Product Name: T3112
2 PVR-150's
On board sound
Nvidia MX4000 with TVout
