A further look I found that a thread called "<MovieName> control" gets 
given priority 110 and this thread is taking the CPU time, the mouse 
thread is only priority 104.

I will look for where this thread is started from.

Ultimately, the cpu issue is my code or something my code is doing to 
confuse the audio output.  But I am  not sure a media control should 
have such a high priority.
