I have a significant problem that is stopping me from upgrading XBMC and openelec and worse - it is annoying the other half...
I use 3 Raspberry Pi's running OpenElec and the VU+ PVR client pulling streams from a VU+ SOLO2.
On Openelec release 12928 and earlier everything works fine (there are a number of small bugs that cause crashes etc, but nothing too bad). Upgrading to a later release though and my LiveTV hits upon two major issues.
The first is the black screen issue when choosing some channels, this is discussed elsewhere so I will leave that. The other problem though is to do with audio - certain channel (for example Nick Jr) when you start the stream the pause icon flashes and the audio hiccups - after around 5-10 seconds of this the audio then breaks to the point it only plays bursts of audio...
XBMC log shows the following, repeated constantly

This looks to be a buffering issue - but the stream is absolutely fine on the earlier release, to the point I can simultaneously watch it fine on one rpi (older version) and the other it stutters
A number of channels are completely unaffected by this, all the FTA for example and Movie channels - other channels are hit and miss as to whether they are affected... but all the Nick Jr's are terrible (naturally, the kids favourite)
Any help would be *greatly* appreciated
Thanks
