its almost certainly a software problem in mythTV and gnome sound recorder. i've written code that does this several times - every time it takes me ages to figure out why, and then i can never remember when i do it the next time. its related to off-by-1 errors in processing incoming audio. not necessarily, of course, just a point of view. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by OSDN developer relations Here's your chance to show off your extensive product knowledge We want to know what you know.
