Well I guess my bare bones LFS setup is very different to fedora, but I can't
reproduce this.

Kernel drm-next recent-ish with radeon HD4890. Can only test PCM into TV with
mplayer + alsa (pulse not installed)

cpufreq set to performance, GPU on low. TV screen set below monitor screen.

Tried 11 minute 44.1k CD track and 20 mins of blu-ray -vo vdpau 48k stereo and
didn't hear any glitches at all. Of course blu-ray was 23.976 and modeline was
24, but I doubt that's relevant, mplayer will tweak video rate to keep audio
sync and -framedrop was given.

FWIW this is my 24Hz line as shown by xrandr --verbose, maybe yours is
different?

1920x1080 (0x2cd)   74.2MHz +HSync +VSync
        h: width  1920 start 2558 end 2602 total 2750 skew    0 clock   27.0KHz
        v: height 1080 start 1084 end 1089 total 1125           clock   24.0Hz

Having never used pulse I don't know if it's easy to bypass (assuming you are
using it),

mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=1.3 may work (assumes cat /proc/asound/cards shows
HDMI as 1)
