[mythtv-users] Audio Buffer Underruns with XvMC and HD in 0.20

I decided to take one step farther and see if XVMC made a difference at
all since my yum upgrade.  I installed Xine since mplayer from the upgrade
seems to be compiled with the via unichrome fork of xvmc, and it won't
work on my system (reference:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2006-May/060346.html). 
So after installing xine, I can do:

"xine -V xv FILENAME.mpg" with 35% CPU idle
"xine -V xvmc FILENAME.mpg" with 65% CPU idle

So, looks like XVMC is functioning properly on the machine as a whole,
just not through Myth.  The same files play fine, same result as everyone
else on the list who seems to be having issues.
