[mythtv] Not recording Sound + Some assorted Stability Problems in MythTV v.5

[Charles Choukalos]

Issac,

Kudo's on a cool program.  I've finnaly got a version
working on my media server and am starting to dig into
it.  However, I'm having some problems.

Media Server -> Dual PIII 600 box, with VIA chipset
(via on board sound).  I'm using the OSS sound drivers
too.

Problems:
1.  Occasionally mythfrontend pops up over mythtv and
will not go away!  The screen dump appears the same
every time... I don't see anything unusual

2.  When I record (Jeesh Lousie... talk about huge
files with Nupple!), I don't seem to be recording
sound at all.  Any thoughts?  I didn't have any
problems building... but I'm wondering if its related
to point 3.

3.  I get this even in Xawtv...  I don't get sound
from all of the channels.  Ie:  Channel 12 gets sound,
but 13 does not?  Huh?  I'm thinking this is more a
video-4-linux issue with the BTTV driver... but any
suggestions?

4.  And even stranger....  After I shut down Mythtv...
I still get the last chanel's sound through the
speakers?!?!?!  I noticed too that when I ESC out of
mYthtv and just have mythfrontend up while I'm
recording, I'm getting the sound from the last channel
that I had mythtv tunned to?  Huh?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chuck

P.S.:  If I get a chance, I might hack some code to
impliment my "archive" idea.  Ie... have Mythfrontend
capture in nuppel, then as a niced process after
convert to divx4/5 and store to another drive, or
possibly leave on the current drive.  Also handle the
updating of a possibly seperate mysql db. How scary
are the interfaces to the above bits of code?
