My advice - get ALSA working. I think more people are using it on this

Never seen one of these, but it wouldn't surprise me if some type of
converter box exists... I think I saw something on the web the other day
about a box that converts between the two and also upscales

If you're using ALSA, you don't need to do anything in MythTV at all.
Just use the attached asound.state file (I've gzipped it.) and add a
post-install restore line into /etc/modules.conf.
