[mythtvnz] Updated packages available

[Kenneth Dixon]

Gave your theory a go, it was a bit tricky to tell but I'm
pretty sure it ran better on AC3 (the '+' key to change

Switching the audio onto a different thread sounds like a
good idea, I wonder if de-interlacing could be separated
from the decoding thread as well??
