 When playing mp3 files via MythMusic and using "default" for the music
 audio output device, the sound stutters.  The device used for hardware
 audio device is a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! 24 bit USB device
 using S/PDIF digital output to the amplifier.  The device setup in the
 MythTV general settings for the audio output device is:
 ALSA:iec958:CARD=EXTERNAL,DEV=0. When watching recordings, the sound is
 perfect. Using the OSS device for the music audio output device
 (/dev/dsp1) also works perfectly.  Disabling the upmixing in the music
 general settings makes the music playback better, but the stuttering is
 still very much evident.  I have attached the sections from the frontend
 log that shows the audio setup for both watching recordings and for
 listening to music.
 Other than the sampling rate being different, there must be something else
 done differently  in setting up the audio between watching recordings and
 listening to music that perhaps only effects the usb_snd driver.

 Pulseaudio is disabled on this system. OS: Ubuntu desktop 10.04

 Please attach all output as a file in bug reports.
