I managed to improve it a fair amount. I've turned off "Extra audio
buffering". When I first used mythtv, back several years ago, I
needed that set so as to avoid glitches during fade-to-blacks.
It seems I don't need it any more. Turning it off helps enormously,
but it still isn't quite perfect: I still see a very slight loss of
sync between audio and video which I can cure by pressing
the back button. It's slight enough now that I can imagine
people not noticing it unless closely watching a drummer (say).
Are you sure you don't see the same? As I said before, every
frontend I've used has shown the same problem.

Paul.
