[mythtv] CVS frontend hosed for the last week

[Curtis Stanford]

I haven't been able to use the CVS version of mythfrontend for over a 
week now. I've distcleaned and remade many times and the same thing 
happens: When I watch a recording, I get a fast motion picture with no 
audio for about 5 seconds. Then I get a brief burst of normal video and 
audio followed by normal video and just static for the audio. If I try 
it a few times, it eventually hangs and I have to kill it from another 
terminal. I have to stick with a 10 day old version that still works.

My frontend is an Epia M10000 running gentoo and kernel 2.4.25-epia1, 
and xfree-epia-4.4.0-r2. Here's the log from mythfronend:
