[mythtv] Ringbuffer: fsync thread may equal corruption

My fault.  I changed xorg.conf and forgot to add RenderAccel to it.

However, mythfrontend is crashing now when I watch live TV from my HD-2000
card. 

Here's the crash;

Is this what you meant by corruption?

I built from CVS last night with the V38 HDTV patch and this patch and now
my playback is all messed up.   Looks like some kind of video sync issue.

I'm rebuilding from CVS and I'll see how it looks.

Since I started using a version of ThreadedFileWriter with a separate 
thread for doing fsyncs, I have had some of my shows end up with 
corruption.  I cannot *make* it happen, and cannot prove that the 
separate fsync thread is the cause, but it is the only cause I can think of.
