OK, I believe the problem is a memory leak somewhere directly tied to
the mypmc/myth.
At the point it starts stuttering, free reports:
[root at glutton /]# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1800232 1789988 10244 0 15268 1230248
-/+ buffers/cache: 544472 1255760
Swap: 2024180 128 2024052
Note only 10 mb free, where the system has ~ 800 MB free when the
show starts. When nothing is playing, no problems. When I reboot the
system no problems until I run out of memory. Any suggestions?
