Since upgrading to mythtv 0.24 the transcoding of any show with 6 channel
audio ends up with slow audio playback. Playback before transcoding is fine,
after transcoding the sound runs half speed. Some threads here claim it is a
Alsa issue. But playback before transcoding is fine. If I copy the nuv file
over to another system and use vlc or mplayer the sound is still slow.
I have atrpms mythtv rpm 0.24-256.fc13.x86_64 on the backend
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ incase its some weird CPU
related issue floating point.
I see 0.24-258 is avaialble so I'll update to that.
I see the following error in the log file.

2010-12-27 20:31:21.558 Found video height of 1088. This is unusual and more
than likely the video is actually 1080 so mythtranscode will treat it as such.

Two chanel sound is not a problemn. Only 6 channel.
I tried to set the transcode option form mp3 to uncompressed it did not help.
So is therea suggested adjustment for this or do I need to just turn off
