The problem is related to opengl.
I had been using opengl to render frames, I saw a thread on the Ubuntu forums complaining about openGL being broken, so I switched to a different method of rendering frames.
mythfrontend no longer causes a segmentation fault when I view live TV.
But I get no sound, and my old method of getting sound, running "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" no longer works because 10.04 removed alsa-utils.
I just found that I can get audio working using the mixer and toggling the main mute button.
