Hi,
I have been hitting by a bug for ages, which I want to get rid of
eventually ;)
It is not possible for me to watch TV via xawtv, while doing IO
intensive tasks in the background. In the majority of cases, it suffices
to copy a, say, 50MB file from my USB-stick to the harddisk to freeze my
amd64 machine (but, funny enough, the sound is playing further on).
It is quite important that you use dma accelerated tv out. Especially
with xawtv as it doesn't do postprocessing this should work until you
saturise your pci bus. The freezing thing however suggests that dma is
not enabled for your harddisk which is an even bigger performance issue.
Make sure you have the right drivers in your kernel, or loaded as module.
