[mythtv] Myth VERY slow, crashes

[Mike Payson]

I just got Myth installed, but it's not working properly. Sometimes, when I 
start it, it will play back normally for only a second or so, then the sound 
will stop, and it will start playing at about 1/4 speed. Other times, it will 
play back fine, but if I try to change channels, it will freeze. I have 
tested, and full duplex sound seems to work properly (I can execute arecord 
in one terminal, and play back the same file in another). I have an Athlon 
2100 xp, and dma is turned on, giving ~47Mbps throughput.

A recent thread ("Unable to change channels") described a similar problem, 
saying that sound was to blame, so if someone can suggest a better way to 
test it, let me know (I haven't been able to use the test in the manual since 
I can't get xawtv to work, but I don't believe that problem is related.)

Thanks!
Mike
