Do you mean this message "Audio buffer overflow, audio data lost!"? Just
as a pointer, when reporting errors it is very helpful to give the exact
message.

I am also getting these with CVS as of last night. Using kernel 2.6.7
with alsa 1.0.3. I have added additional debugging and found in my case
that Myth is constantly waiting for space on my soundcard. According to
what I found Myth wants 4096 bytes and my sound card is only reporting
128 free. However mplayer and aplay work fine on this system. Using
mplayer-1.0-0.10.pre5.1.fc2.fr I can even directly play the .nuv files
with no problems.
I am looking into this and will post to the list as soon as I find out
what the problem is on my system. Unless, of course, someone beats me to it.
