<br>><br>> So, I did a test capture tuning with azap and then played it back using<br>> mplayer. Sure enough, same problem. I did this three times and each time<br>> is "froze" in the same place. Looking at the logs, I see a ton of "a52:

I originally tried xine, but it's not playing sound and I'm not sure how to tell it to use spdif. I could just watch the video and see what it does at that point, but I'd prefer to have the sound as well. Any idea how I tell xine to use spdif for sound?
