when i get this there's nothing i can do unless i have another window open
in the background. i do't start mythfrontend on start-up anymore, i start
it through a terminal window so that i can alt-tab to it, kill mythfrontend
and re-start it. the problem seems to be increasing, now it's unusual for
me to go an entire hour without needing to killall mythfrontend.
the instinct that i had was that the buffers are under-running on the pvr
and somehow de-railling the entire process instead of just causing a hiccup.
i'm going to try and move some processes off the box (like mysql and samba)
and see if that helps.
and, incidentally, i have an intel chipset, not via.
