<br>this is one thing that will clear itself up when I eventually upgrade<br>my receiver one day.<br><br></blockquote></div><br>I have a receiver (Pioneer) that receives digital coax from my FE Myth box. I never have audio lags when I fast forward. I'd think the culprit is probably in ALSA or the device itself (maybe a side effect of the USB, I have little to no experience in linux sound). I've never heard of a receiver actually lagging behind video. Usually it's video lags audio (especially on some HDTVs).
