[pvrusb2] pvrusb2 and Fedora 11 - Audio cut after sometime of capturing

[Alejandro Vaquero]

Thanks JE. I been dealing with this issue for a couple of weeks now, and 
will go to Fedora 10 if none of the suggestions work. Now that you 
mention that F10 has no problems, I was thinking if the new ext4 
filesystem on F11 has something to do with all these issues.

Thanks
Alejandro
