[mythtv-users] Re: very serious A/V sync issues -0.16 works well

[Jit V]

I'm experiencing a similar issue when watching either live tv or a recording 
through mythtv. Although I've been having the same problem with 0.16 and 
0.17 - can't comment on versions before, since I started out using 0.16.

I can also confirm that the problem only occurs when I use OSS drivers (the 
nvidia one), although if I use the open source ALSA drivers there's no 
problem. I have a Shuttle SN41G2V2 with nforce2 integrated sound.

I'm using a DVB card so I'm fairly sure that this is an issue with mythtv - 
since mplayer can play the resulting nuv files perfectly, using either OSS 
or ALSA drivers.

It would be nice to be able to use the OSS drivers, since they provide 
hardware mixing and also set the spdif control bits appropriately to be able 
to get AC3 passthrough working. But for the time being I'm quite happy using 
the ALSA drivers... and nvidia have mentioned that they'll eventually get 
around to making some ALSA drivers.

Thanks
