Thanks for the patch.
At first, I thought it worked. When I started live tv, 4 pauses and one
underrun where logged, but then it was looking good. That lasted about a
minute, and then it was back to the stuttering.
It's a little confusing, it does not happen recording a program, and it
does not happen when playing a recording, so it's not easy to pin on the
frontend or backend.
May I ask what kind of tuner card you are using?
