streaming? I would need to build 0.19 on my file server(right now its
got an older SVN that needs to be updated), but I can do that. Though
the original firewire problem is in the actual recorded files so when
I tried playing back on it before I got the same errors in the same
places.

I'll use SVN for these tests, then I can have a seperate folder with a
working copy to revert to so the g/f can watch tv =)
