	Thanks to all of the people who responded.

	Most suggestions for flushing the pipeline were generally the same --
give the pipeline something to do which on completion would guarantee that
the pipeline is empty.  Suggestions ranged from using gsync(), swapbuffer(),
finish() ... to readrect() and feedback.  I ended up calling finish() first
then gsync() (call me paranoid :-).

	Apparently, that helped my problem, but did not fully solve it.
That is, I'm still experiencing some jitter in my recordings periodically and 
in the same locations, and I doubt it's the recorder's fault.  I don't suppose
the 'Pipeline has any round-off problems?  
	
	Oh well, back to the drawing board.  Thanks again, everyone.
