I started mythcommflag with the --rebuild --force option to rebuild the

and it worked great. I don't really see the problems unless there is a
burst of noise in the recording.

It was usleep as of yesterday. Lastnight I fixed it to use RTC after
looking at the logs. I haven't tried to watch the video again.
