[mythtv] [PATCH] high speed smooth video v2

[Ashley Bostock]

I watch a show yesterday at 1.2x the speed (which normally runs very
smooth) but with this patch I get very jolty motion, like its slowing
down then speeding up every second.  After watching the snow I noticed
on the command line that it had been spurting out prebuffering pauses
about 3 times a second...  I rarely go any faster than 1.4x otherwise
its too fast to tell what ppl are saying.  I think I'll revert the
patch on my system and stick with cvs for now.
