That was one of the parameters that you had mentioned before.  When I
turned it on last night, my audio buffer underruns disappeared, but
the log was filled with prebuffering pauses instead.

What I plan to do tonight is to experiment by turning the extra audio
buffering on.  Then test with the aggressive buffering option both
enabled and disabled.  Then test with and without XVMC.

But have tweaked all of these parameters in the past -- although I'm
not sure I tested every possible combination.  So, I'll do that
tonight; but I really believe I have been down this road before and it
does not lead to success.

Are there any other parameters that I should experiment with?  I've
gotten to know the video side of Linux and MythTV rather well, but I'm
a complete neophyte when it comes to audio.

Tom
