ALSA is built from source.  0.9.0rc7.  The really weird thing is that 
just for kicks I installed mythtv CVS from scratch on my work Linux box, 
and I get the SAME behavior with mythmusic!  The GUI freezes up every 
30-45 seconds.  Totally different machine with a different sound card.

Again, RedHat 8.0, alsa-driver-0.9.0rc7 (compiled for the correct card), 
and mythmusic CVS.

Having this happen on three machines now has me a bit concerned ;). 
Unfortunately, on the first machine on which I saw this behavior the 
problem went away, and I thought it went away just when I changed from 
the 0.7 myth release to building from CVS.  But something else must have 
changed to fix the issue.

Everything else is working perfectly, though! ;)
