Speaking of which.. has anyone else noticed that those messages
are actually MUCH LESS THAN 100ms apart?

The code has this rather flawed logic for it:
       ...
       int waited_for = buffering_start.msecsTo(QTime::currentTime());
       if ((waited_for & 100) == 100)
       ...

That if-stmt will "match" for all kinds of intervals
other than just 100ms.  So I recoded it here to correctly
do things in 100ms increments, but it still didn't make
the LiveTV channel changing any more (or less) reliable.
