I think I get this too but it's very brief and doesn't usually cause enough
disruption to annoy me (or more importantly, my wife). Typically I hear a
little glitch and see it on my receiver where it flashes the format of the
received digital audio as if it were a new stream. I think I've had it as
long as I've had this particular setup (Myth 0.25 on Gentoo, on whatever
the current stable kernel was around April 2012 through kernel 3.7
currently).
