I don't remember upgrading libasound2, just g++, but I noticed the hiccup in 
xine too (mplayer might have it but it looses audio on ac3 tracks before it 
happens so maybe it is having the same issue) so I'm going to try downgrading 
to 1.0.8... But it looks like it *is* something outside of Myth since xine is 
showing it too...
