This version is working great for me, with a 350 and 150. Scaling seems to be 
working well, audio is great, etc.  I'm still having bad problems with 
playback freezing on jumps and sometimes FF/RW.  I noticed that jumping 
almost gaurantees a freeze if you've done any FF/RW before the jumps.  Once 
again, nothing in any logs is showing up.  This behavior only has seemed to 
come up with the new DMA code introduced somewhere in the later 0.3.2 
versions.  

I'm wondering if the problem really lies in ivtv or not.  I know that the 
earlier versions worked fine, but then again, it just may have been something 
with the interaction that worked better with the older code and mythtv.  I 
know a lot of the ivtv output code changed between myth .17 and .18 (or was 
it between .16 and .17?  Can't remember), and so I wonder if it's really the 
myth code that's problematic.  I question this mostly because of the fact 
that although playback freezes, the system and the card don't.  I can simply 
restart the frontend (I usually just restart X though because the command to 
do so is really easy with Gentoo), go right back into playing a recording or 
something, and all is well again.  Also because of the fact that many times 
if I'm quick I can catch the freeze with a pause/unpause sequence and it 
continues playing.
