I suspect it may have to do with the interaction between backend and
frontend hardware.
For my backend, I use FC3 running on a P4 2.4GHz HT with 3 PVR-250
cards. For my frontend, I use MiniMyth running on an EPIA ME6000.
Until I reverted to an earlier FC3 kernel (version 681_FC3), my system
had bad stuttering with both live and recorded. With the earlier FC3
kernel, it has occasional stuttering with live and no stuttering with
recorded.
In addition, there have been reported problems with XvMC on nVIDIA.
Therefore, it is possible that the EPIA ME6000's use of XvMC VLD may
contribute to the problem.
