Ah yes, now this makes much more sense. :-)

Try that extra audio buffering option, as John K. suggested, but you might 
also look at your alsa version. 1.0.6 has been causing stutter issues for a 
fair number of folks (though primarily in the HD realm).

Also, if you have OpenGL sync enabled in your Myth build, the nvidia driver 
installed from their own shell script, and have recently upgraded X, your cpu 
may be getting pegged. The nVidia libGL gets replaced by the MESA libGL in 
some cases, meaning you'd be doing all this OpenGL stuff in software. Just 
something to check out. Re-running nVidia's installer script should fix the 
problem, if that is indeed what's going on.
