[mythtv] 'WriteAudio: buffer underrun' during playback caused by the scheduler

Hi,

I'm still having those problems :(

I am using Knoppmyth R5C7 with mythtv svn 11084 and the ac3-patch 0.20 
written by Mark Spieth.

I'm using the EIT Scanner because tvtoday doesn't support that many 
channels and I hate hunting for a new script when they change the layout 
of there homepage...

The problem is, that every time when the scheduler 'reschedules', I get 
audio problems in the recording or LiveTV I watch.

The backend log says:

2006-09-09 17:11:26.371 EITScanner: Added 10 EIT Events
2006-09-09 17:11:26.375 Reschedule requested for id -1.
2006-09-09 17:11:28.878 Scheduled 36 items in 2.5 = 1.19 match + 1.31 place

At the same time, the playback stumbles and the audio is gone in most of 
the cases. Sometimes, the audio comes back to live again after about 3 
seconds... The frontend tells me this:

You see, at 17:11:26.375 the rescheduling is getting startet and at that 
time, the error occures...

Does anybody have an idea what to do?

Thanks!
