[mythtv-users] Transcode & nuvexport error. Help still needed, obviously not a version thing...

Having finally managed to get hold of an old Transcode rpm (the one that 
after updating, caused the error to occur. which is why i was so convinced 
it was the new rpm with the problem), i installed and for whatever reason, 
the problem is still occuring. So now i have the same transcode, same 
nuvexport, newer but llikely little different mythtv, same video files, same 
xvid versions installed. and yet still the same error that only appeared a 
few months ago.

If anyone has any idea whatsoever as to what might be causing this, then i'd 
love to know.

So, running nuvexport (pretty much any version) with mythtv (0.19.1 or 0.20) 
and trying to encode a recording to either xvid or svcd with either 
transcode 1.0.2-0.pm.4 or 1.0.2-0.pm.5 rpm for suse 10.1 causes the 
following error:



Waiting for mythtranscode to set up the fifos.
Starting transcode.
processed:  0 of 34749 frames at 0 fps (~%, eta: unknown)

Transcode had critical errors:

[transcode] critical: invalid pcm parameter 'rate' for option -e



Nuvexport's debug shows it's running the following commands:

-e being 0,16,0 on 1st and 2nd passes, and possibly the cause of the error. 
Though frankly it could be anything, and i get the feeling only a new OS 
version is gonna solve it now.


Thanks for the help,
