Channel transition, during recording, freezes playback and renders XBMC unresponsive

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Record a video via firewire on Ubuntu 9.10
2. Make sure the recording is on a channel other than the channel the set
   top box is currently on. For example your set top box is on channel 
   725, and the recording is to be on channel 749.
3. Commflag the subsequent recording

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The video starts on the initial channel of box, and when the channel
changes to the channel to be recorded the video freezes. Note that the this
will not occur if the channel to be recorded is the same as the initial
channel of the box.

Transcoding alleviates this problem. But transcoding, using lossless, also
removes the audio from some recordings on a 4250HD box using Optimum cable
on Long Island in NY.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The server is on Ubuntu 9.10 version 0.22.0+fixes22
The client is XBMC_for_Mac-ppc-9.04.1-repack.dmg
The script is mythbox-svn-1558.tar.gz

Please provide any additional information below.
This may be a result of firewire? This may be some sort of framebuffer
overflow?

The best I can do is look at your xbmc, mythbox, and mythtv backend logs to see 
if I
see anything unusual. Feel free to attach them. Also, I can't support XBMC for 
Mac on
PPC at this time because I don't have an ffmpeg executable built for that 
architecture.
