Unable to play most of my h264 videos since .21 release

Description

I am unable to play most of my video collection using .21-fixes. I tried again today with r18457 hoping the recent ffmpeg sync (r18372) would make a difference. The last revision I was able to play these with was from November 8, 2007. The most obvious change after that point was the multi-channel audio merge.

Videos that don't play have accelerated sound and choppy video. Verbose output shows numerous " NVP::AddAudioData?():p1: Audio buffer overflow, audio data lost!" entries. The few videos that do play, do so without those messages.

My video collection is all ripped from DVD and encoded with mencoder using "-ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=1200:pass=2:deblock:cabac:threads=auto -vf hqdn3d=2:1:2 -oac copy". I do use 2 pass encoding.

I am attaching logs of a video with and without problems with "-v playback,audio,libav"

My last attempt to build mythtv used "./configure --enable-proc-opt --disable-ffmpeg-pthreads". Enabling or disabling ffmpeg-pthreads makes no difference. I am having this problem on three machines with different processors (Opteron 180, E8400 and an AppleTV).

When I looked at the logs from the two versions, I noticed the following:

Old pre-.21 revision: WriteAudio?: Preparing 6144 bytes (1536 frames) 2008-09-27 21:51:29.450 AO: audio waiting for space on soundcard: have 832 need 6144

.21 and later: NVP::AddAudioData?():p1: Audio buffer overflow, audio data lost!

From the logs, it appears the older version was able to buffer audio until the hardware could handle it whereas the newer code simply overflows and loses the data. Then again, without reading the code, I could be way off.

All three of my machines do use on-board audio with intel drivers (snd_intel8x0 and snd_hda_intel).

As an additional note, 5313-v2.patch (ticket 5313) appears to resolve this. It's also resolved in Trunk.
