I'm saying that I haven't been able to do a comprehensive test on 
playback but I did have a failure in mythtranscode that looked similar 
to the problems that I used to see quite often in the days when I would 
use it on raw dvb-t recordings; AIUI it just couldn't handle audio 
streams that came and went.  Sorry that's a bit off your real topic, but 
I'd like to find a usable alternative for HD recordings; ProjectX 
doesn't seem to be it.
