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

[Joe Garcia]

>From what I am reading below it looks like your suggesting that the
it's the capture audio buffer... wouldn't this be comming from the
pvr-150?

The only soundcard that I have setup is the SB.  Do I need to setup
the pvr-150 as an alsa controled audio input and if so how do I do
that?

Well audio works just fine out of mythtv... and there isn't much audio
to configure inside of mythtv-setup.  I don't see any options in
mythfrontend to set up any audio.

What should I use as a guide to verifying my audio config?  If it
works for everything else why won't it work with mythfrontend.
