<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We are a couple of people on this list
trying to get Mythtv running smoothly on the Pundit-R but we are having
problems the prebuffering issue on the atiixp driver. How did you force
mythtv to use the alsa driver directly instead of the oss emulation ? If
you could post any .asoundrc file or equivalent necessary i would be greatly
appreciated.</font>

The pre-buffer pauses on a pundit-r are audio related. There is some <br>
sort of bug with the alsa (atiixp) audio driver or the OSS emulation. <br>
You can see the pre-buffer pauses when you use /dev/dsp as audio device.<br>
I solved them for now switching to ALSA audio out.<br>
