[mythtv] [PATCH] Mac OS X audio patch

[Bruce Dillahunty]

Thanks so much to both of you for working on this... Nigel has heard 
from me before :-)

Something in the latest updates "fixed" things for me... I now have a 
picture AND sound.

My 733 Mhz machine is choppy on sound...

Since this is the first time I've gotten a picture to work, this may be 
old new, but I'll let everybody know... I have myth set to run in a 
window, at a fixed resolution. When it switches to play video on the 
Mac, it obeys the 600x800, but puts in right in the middle of the 
monitor, and blacks out the rest of it, instead of using the window it 
has. No biggie, but thought I would mention it.

Thanks again!!!

Bruce
