[mythtv-users] stumped "audio waiting for buffer to fill"

I captured the output of "mythfrontend -v all" because I only get a black 
screen and an unresponsive computer if I try to view any video in mythtv. I 
can record just fine. I can view the mythtv recorded files with mplayer with 
sound. I can do a mplayer /dev/video0 and that works fine video an all. 
LiveTV or trying to watch any of the recorded video in mythtv results in a 
race condition that denys all access to the compter and only a hard reset 
will bring it out of this race condition.

Htere is what I see repeated over and over from the "mythfrontend -v all" 
capture
