[mythtv-users] Random pauses - system details and log file link

[Andrew Allison]

Trying to diagnose the random pauses that have been occurring for some
time.

	Thanks again in advance

	Andrew

Here is a follow up email, containing a link (I hope, first timer). 

Heck, I'll put the box on the internet if it helps :-)

And the gory The details that will hopefully help.

I had been running strictly atrpm builds until Nov 2 trying to eliminate
the pauses. Then did a build from the git repository hoping that would
help.

Hardware

Combined FE/BE Analog Standard Definition.
OS		Fedora 14 x86_64
CPU		AMD X4 965
Ram		4 gig DDR3
Motherboard	ASUS M4A77TD
Video 		GeForce 6200	S-Video out
Tuners		2 - Hauppauge 150
		1 - Hauppauge 500
Tried both on board sound and Creative PCI-e
Sound		Creative Labs [SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG
on board 	Via VT1708S 
Output 2 channel stereo wired to amplifier

(I think I've played with every option in the audio setup screens and
there are a lot)

P.S.
	Nice work on the newer version for upcoming release :-)
