In mythfrontend settings, Playback settings, page 1, "General playback":

Extra audio buffering
Enable this setting if MythTV is playing "crackly" audio and you are 
using hardware encoding. This setting will have no effect on MPEG-4 or 
RTJPEG video. MythTV will keep extra audio data in its internal buffers 
to workaround this bug."
