This sucks, I already have a myth recording with bad
audio, but my original experiment is still
reproducable.  Could someone else do this experiment
to confirm I'm not losing my mind.
Alternate the following procedure several times
between old and new firmware and test how often the
audio goes bad:
   - install firmware, full powerdown and restart
   - mplayer /dev/video0
   - use ivtv-tune to change channels and note when
audio is bad (I did about 50 channel changes)
   (note: after a few channel changes, mplayer gets
out of a/v sync so I just restart it)

I cycled between the old and new firmware at least 5
times and got bad audio on about 10% of channel
changes with old firmware.  Never got bad audio with
new firmware.  New firmware seems rock solid...
So how could new firmware fix the problem when using
mplayer/ivtv-tune, but not when using mythtv.  Is
there a difference in how myth changes channels vs.
how ivtv-tune changes channels?
Or maybe it's not about how mythtv changes channels,
but how it initializes video capture for each
recording?   It seems to me that if mythtv would just
change channels and start recording without any other
messing with my PVR card, then it should work as well
as mplayer.
