I'm currently running 0.21 universal build from sniderpad (intel mini,
10.4.11).  It's fairly stable, except for the live tv issue you
mention.
I have .iso files in my videos collection, so I would like to be able
to run 0.21-fixes.  However, that is not available there as a
universal/intel build.  I have tried two other intel 0.21-fixes builds
from links on the wiki; however, when I try to launch the app, in each
case all I get is "Bus Error".

Is anyone running a pre-built intel 0.21-fixes OSX frontend?  If so, from where?
