For example.. I start mencoder to encode an mpeg file which pretty much uses all the cpu on my machine. Then, I use mplayer to output a mpg file with mpegpes while the machine is still encoding the other file. Almost immediately I start finding "av7110_fw_request: timeout waiting for HANDSHAKE_REG" in the syslog. If I am not maxing out my cpu (ie; encoding a file) while I play a mpg via mpegpes, then the errors do not occur. Best Regards,
