I can't get it to work on any video source, even 2 channel.  The second I
increase the time stretch higher than 1.0X it goes all static.  I have to
exit the recording to fix because even moving back to 1.0X will not fix the
audio.  This happens when I am trying to play anything.  A DVD that is 5.1
AC3, TV superbowl recording that is 5.1, or any recording that is 2 channel
audio.  In order to watch my shows above 1.0X I need to take the check boxes
off for "Enable AC3 and DTS to SPDIF passthrough".  Then it works fine at
any speed though the sound is truly 2 channel and that is not any fun at all
when you have all the hardware to decode AC3/DTS.  Hopefully someone here
has some experience with this because it seems like mythtv should be able to
do it.
