Hi Bodo, I have same problem, and was also thinking on attaching a usb audio adapter to the box. However, I have some doubts about which one would work ok in linux. Could you please tell me which usb adapter are you using and under which linux distribution? Now I have fc2 Thank your in advance, Joaqu�n.
I got an USB Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit External adapter. It works very
well for Line out. I use the SPDIF out an get excellent quality sound.
Not sure about the support of the capture devices though. I still ise the ATI IXP for capturing.
A note on this. I talked to Takashi, the author of the IXP driver. He is
aware of the problem and is trying to address it. He isn't sure however
if the issue can really be resolved. There seem to be boards where it
works, so it's not entirely the drivers fault. Buggy BIOS or ACPI tables
are more likely the cause of the problem.

Some input for your alsa-driver friend :
The problems with the atiixp driver on the pundit-r are somehow related to the latency settings of the videocard. Changing that settings has an effect on the sound card stability. You can change those settings in the pundits bios but they get ignored (you can check with lspci -v). So it might all be faulty bios. I've also seen reports on playback stutter problems on windows xp with the pundit-r.
The prebuffer messages in myth are, as far as I was able to test, related to buffers/troughput on the soundcard.
In mythtv you hardly notice problem if you use alsa output so the problem is exporsed more when you use the alsa oss compatibility layer.
If Takashi has some debugging tips on this I'm more than willing to try them out.
