Wow, what a good idea.  I'm kinda sad I totally didn't think to do
that  before posting.

Anyway, skipping works like a charm with MPlayer.  So that basically
narrows it down to 2 things:  either Myth, OR the fact that I'm using
OSS emulation under Myth (I chose /dev/dsp1 because I didn't know how
to put in my alsa-named card... which I aliased as "turtle" in my
asoundrc).  I guess that will be my next step, trying it as pure ALSA
support in Myth.  This is really great though -- that means the
hardware is just fine!
