[mythtv-users] Weird distortion on recordings

I'm trying to track down some weird distortion on recordings.  I've 
posted a couple of examples and I hope someone can shed some light on this:

This has been happening on my new backend - a 1.67 Ghz Core2 Duo.  I 
transplanted the tuners from my old PIII 1GHz box to this one, and this 
started happening.  Recordings on the old server were perfect; here they 
distort like this.

I am really out of ideas; the new backend has 4 SATA drives in a RAID5, 
and is mostly idle.  It should handle one or two streams with no problems.

The old backend had 4 IDE drives and 4 SCSI drives.  All recording was 
stored on the IDE drives.

There are no errors in the myth log files...

I am running 0.20-fixes, self-compiled, on Debian Etch AMD64.
