[mythtv-users] Why does going to live TV take so long?

If it can start playing immediately at a speed of .9x, then it can also
start playing immediately at a speed of 1.0x.
Your suggestion would also require resampling of the audio, which would
be noticable, and somewhat problematic in the case of 5.1 audio.
