Changes are in, there doesn't appear to be any improvement in the
stated problem. I have the frontend running with -v
playback,audio so going through the log file is tedious; however,
I may have found one correlation with another process.
Unfortunately, I cannot say with certainty that at these
instances, I experience the pause in playback. The next time I
sit down to watch recordings, I will have paper and pencil and
will write down the exact time the pauses occur so that I can try
to match them up in the log file.

<div>The correlation I found was with the preview generation
process. I had about three of these occurrences in about three
and a half hours of recording watching. They were all similar
starting with the "Ignoring PREVIEW_SUCCESS" message. Others
might look in their log files (probably need the verbosity set
the same as I have) and see if they have something similar.</div>

I'm getting lots of dropped frames following those PREVIEW_SUCCESS
messages. I'm not getting pauses, but the dropped frames cause a
glitch in the video playback, and it gets annoying. It happens
several times per show.<br>
