Are you using OpenGL as timing ?
I have lockups with OpenGL timing, it also causes all kinds of other 
strange 'playback  speed' issues so I am back to RTC timing instead.

I have tried endlessly to get 'perfect sync' (at 50Hz that is since I'm 
living in PAL country Netherland) and mythfrontend runs with OpenGL very 
smooth but locks up occasionally.
With deinterlacing on (Bob) somehow Mythfrontend can't keep the pace up, 
it runs OK and buttersmooth for a few seconds then skips 3 frames ahead 
and so forth.

My current frontend is built on the same board but I use the BE-2350 for 
powersaving reasons (it does run very cool!)
