Re: HDTV with CinemaSix 1.2

The problem with Pause and your problem are the same (Transport Streams
Only):

When the stream starts or you pause, there is a chance (for me it's 1 in
10) that a race condition occurs that really starts a shit storm.  Where
shit storm is defined as:
 - Memory usage of CinemaSix drops sharply
 - Memory usage of Cascade jumps abruptly
 - kswapd starts churning like mad

I'm suspecting some sort of threading mishap, but I can't debug this
tonight.  It'll have to wait until the end of the month (unless someone
else figures out my bug :-)
