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

Sign me up, too.  .19 has worked flawlessly forever, now .20 I can't watch
any HD.  My issues are stuttering, with or without deinterlacing, and Bob
even makes the screen bounce up and down.  As of .20, I also have a few
new errors cropping up from mythfrontend:

--------------------------------------

--------------------------------------

I never saw any of the VideoOutputXv lines (4 of them) in .19.  I've tried
everything in the Wiki, etc no luck.

If this can't be solved, is it possible for me to downgrade a single
frontend to .19 (the one I watch HD on) and keep the others at .20?  And
if so, anyone know how?  I upgraded with yum.
