Now that you mention it, I did notice this in 'Mayday' that I watched
and was recorded on Prime.
I'll check my next recording from Prime and see if it happens again.

If it transcodes correctly then it may be that our ALSA buffer is set

Perhaps prime has moved from stereo to 5.1 sound and now the buffers
are sometimes
a little too small.

I'll check tonight and again when Mayday records on Sunday night.
