[mythtv-users] OSX Video Playback problems

Hello All,

I am running MythTV on a Fedora 13 backend (64 bits) and with a 2009 Mac Mini Frontend.  I recently upgraded from 0.22 to 0.24.1

My Backend Version:  mythtv-backend-0.24.1-2.fc13.x86_64
My Frontend Version: fixes/0.24 [v0.24.1-107-g088335b-dirty]

Everything works fine (that I can tell) when in Stereo mode: videos play as expected, audio properly routes, Mac remote works well.  

When I enable 5.1 digital, the first show that I play works as expected, and I am amazed with the audio.  Any show afterwards, until I quit MythFrontEnd, runs at double speed.  

With some tests, I find that if I disable audio buffering, the audio signal will switch from analog to digital and back and forth many times.  I have also disabled advanced audio settings.

I consider the upgrade an improvement, because at 0.22, ANY show in 5.1 mode would give me a buzzing audio presentation.  My digital setup worked properly in 0.21, but I don't wish to return to that, as I am too used to having a working remote control. 

I have attached my console log below, but removed font errors.  Any ideas on how to get completely functional digital audio?  

Thanks,

Christian
