The trouble is is there isn't the equivalent code in the video section,
so it doesn't actually fix anything. Anyway fair enough. I will have
another attack.

So what I am hearing you say is that a negative timecode is not
reasonable. That is what I was unsure of. Could you tell me where these
timestamps come from in the context of DVB? Are they stored in the
ringbuffer file? Are they placed there by the recording code.

I believe what is happening is that they are starting with an
uninitialised variable and every so often it happens to go negative,
which then screws up the AVsync code.
