If this happens, the unit locks up requiring it to be power cycled before it can be used again. This behavior can easily be reproduced by pulling the SPDIF cable during recording. My question is this: are there any changes that could be made to the hdpvr driver that would make it more tolerant of brief audio dropouts? > >Does it do this under Windows?

It does pause, but when the signal comes back it resumes playing normally. So if I understand you correctly, this would most likely be a Linux driver bug rather than a firmware problem. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
