Running SVN on Gentoo:

# mythbackend --version
Library API version: 0.19.20060226-1
Source code version: 9324
Options compiled in:
 linux release using_v4l using_oss using_alsa using_arts using_jack
using_ivtv using_dbox2 using_lirc using_dvb using_dvb_eit using_x11
using_xv using_xrandr using_opengl_vsync using_frontend using_backend

oss is turned on but for several recordings I get this:

There's no process running and the job stays in the queue with 0% for
indefinitly.
Any ideas?
