line 346 was already 'audio_buffer_unused = 0;' but it was conditional on
line 345 'if(audio_buffer_unused < 0)', so the first thing i tried was
updating cvs and recompiling, same problem, except livetv worked fine (but
that mite have been because i uncommented out ServerMode=Master in
backend_settings.txt that i didn't before)

I then added  audio_buffer_unused = 0; at line 347, thus making it
unconditional. And the same thing happens on playback and livetv now has a
bit of a ship to it about every second.

I am getting "Audio buffer overflow, audio data lost!" in playback, but
those start about the same time it decides to play in fast mode and the
audio comes un-synced.
