This was an ffmpeg resync.

Can you open a ticket for this, preferably with a link
to a short (~10 second) clip that exhibits the problem?

MythTV's mpegts.c differs quite a bit WRT to the ffmpeg
version. They don't support half the streams we do, but
we haven't gotten our version into an ffmpeg friendly
enough state to sync back to them. That said, this is
probably just a bug introduced when merging ffmpeg
improvements back into MythTV's ffmpeg.
