I've been running myth for quite a while.  Good stuff.  Thanks to all for 
all the great work. 

I am getting this error anytime I try to view live or recorded video (recent 
system change: new sound card that uses the es1371 driver instead of the 
i810_audio driver): 

mythtv at puck:~/MC$ mythbackend

lame error '-3', exiting
mythtv at puck:~/MC$ 

Since it's not seg-faulting, I'm not sure if a backtrace would even be 
reasonable. 

I've always used the oss drivers for no particular reason and they've never 
been a problem before.  I can convert to alsa if that's the way to solve the 
problem. 

I've traced it through the code back to lame via the lame_encode_buffer 
call, but I lose my ability to follow the code when I leave myth and enter 
lame. 

Anyone got a hint for me? 

Thanks in advance.
