I have just compiled from source to get mythzoneminder to work with
the correct colors

git clone -b fixes/0.24 git://github.com/MythTV/mythtv.git

Mythtv is working fine but I'm seeing an error message that I've never
seen before -


2011-05-20 20:51:04.218 AO: Opening audio device 'default:CARD=NVidia'
ch 2(2) sr 48000 sf signed 32 bit reenc 0

2011-05-20 20:51:04.281 ALSA, Error: Try to manually increase audio
buffer with: echo 6016 | sudo tee

2011-05-20 20:51:04.281 ALSA, Error: Unable to sufficiently increase
ALSA hardware buffer size - underruns are likely



Even when I try to do this as root the value doesn't change -


root at brent:/proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0# echo "6016" > prealloc
root at brent:/proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0# cat prealloc
4096
