[mythtv-users] "audio stream changed"

For some recordings my mythfrontend console constantly repeats "audio stream
changed". I recently upgraded to an AMD 780g motherboard, Debian Lenny, and
MythTV .21 via debian-multimedia.org from a Gentoo configuration on .20
(which never exhibited this behavior). Below I've attached the relevant
output from a recording that causes this behavior and one that doesn't. The
difference appears to be stereo vs surround-sound. This output was generated
while using a PCI-E card with the nvidia driver, not the onboard video,
although that doesn't appear to make any difference.
The messages themselves aren't so much a problem as the big performance hit; I
can't timestretch anymore without getting audio buffer underruns. Thanks in
advance for any hints.
A "bad" recording:
