[mythtv-users] mp3anywhere stops working during playback

I have managed to get the x10 "mp3 anywhere" wireless remote working 
with lirc. It actually works fine with mythtv for navigating the menus 
and such. However, as soon as I start watching live tv or a recording 
mythtv no longer responds to the remote. I read a warning from lirc.org 
( http://www.lirc.org/html/technical.html#bugs ) explaining that heavy 
IDE activity can disable interrupts often enough to cause signal 
decoding problems with lirc_serial and lirc_parallel drivers. I'm not 
convinced that this is the problem since the lirc mp3anywhere driver 
doesn't seem to use lirc_serial.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Anyone find a fix for it? I've 
been scouring the web and mailing lists archives for a solution for a 
week now and I am stuck.

BTW, here is my setup:
Dual P3-450
PVR-250
Voodoo3 tv-out
Soundblaster live
MythTV 0.11

Thanks in advance,

Michael
