[mythtv-users] Prebuffering pause

I've read mailing list posts about this "prebuffering pause" problem and the 
consensus seems to be that data is coming in faster than the frontend can 
handle so it pauses.

I have two frontends, one EPIA M10000 using hardware decoding and a P4 2.4G 
with hyperthreading. Both exhibit this problem even though they are not near 
100% CPU usage. The P4 especially has negligible CPU usage but still gets 
these "pauses".

Am I misunderstanding what this message means? Is it possible there is some 
other problem causing this?

Thanks

Curtis
