It looks like the clock issue has been cleared up, and, for the most
part, Mythmusic is stutter-free.  I have noticed, though, that there
seems to be an issue with the visualizations.  I have random
visualizations set up to change with every song.  About 10 seconds
after a song has started that follows a song showing cover art, the
previous song's cover art flashes on the screen for about a second.  I
get a slight stutter when this happens.  Any idea what could be
causing this?
