Post subject:  Jittery TV playback and distorted optical sound (ALSA)

I have a problem where live TV playback is extermely jittery especially when watching e.g. sports. I have checked my settings with hdparm:

Code:
/dev/hda:
 multcount    = 16 (on)
 IO_support   =  0 (default 16-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  0 (off)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    = 256 (on)
 geometry     = 24321/255/63, sectors = 200049647616, start = 0


and the CPU load is very low at the moment (max 5%) while recording. I have a Technotrend DVB-C card.

Having recently done a fresh install of Knoppmyth R5C7 (I previously played around with R5B7), I found out that I cannot get spdif working properly. It worked fine with R5B7 but now with R5C7 the output is extermely distorted. I get the following output when playing using mplayer:

Code:

AF_pre: af format: 2 bps, 2 ch, 44100 hz, little endian signed int

Not sure quite to intepret the above but seems like something is not quite right?
