When I was letting my connection play for a while earlier, I had top 
running via an SSH session and it was only up to around 33% while the 
audio and video were mismatched.  I was able to use test-mpeg2 to 
capture a stream and play it with mplayer a week or so ago, so I think 
the connection's good.  I also went thru every Speed setting in the 
capture card setup (P2P/100mbps; Broadcast/100mbps; P2P/200mbps; etc.) 
but it didn't improve.  Most times I got that "You should've gotten a 
lock by now" error message.

I'm not sure where the extra audio buffering setting is, so I'm not 
really sure.

Thanks,
Harry
