Shows how long I have been using MythTv with this box,
it defaulted to off when it was setup !

I do think the help text suggests it is an "extra" not
normal option to work around a particular bug though.

Anyway things are much better now with this option enabled,
I will send in my XvMC VLD codec patch.

Still does anyone know the reason that enabling the extra
audio buffering fixes this problem ?
I just want to make sure it is not covering up some other issue, so
any ideas as to the reason that the Audio does not run at
normal speed when the Video has had its frame rate cut in half to allow
the audio to catch up ?
