Suggest you drop Gavin an email.  He is collecting sample shows to do some
work on advert detection for future Myth versions.  I am putting some

As for detection being any worse, I can't say I have noticed any
differences from 0.24 for example.  I am using the silence-detect script
though, which has been better for me in the UK.
