So, this is interesting. I was having a good experience with myth the last few weeks - not really experiencing any lock-ups. I was not using xvmc as with it enabled I got an error when trying to view live tv. Then, I installed a new sound card yesterday to try and use the digital spdif for the sound (Turtle Beach Riviera). Got that to work very easily, however I'm now having a rash of hard lock-ups when trying to pause, rewind or fast forward live or recorded television. I'm still not using xvmc (though I'd like to), I am using libmpeg2, and I do run mythfrontend suid. Could my problems with lock-ups somehow be related to yours?
