Actually that's not true. 'aplay /dev/dsp1' is capturing from /dev/dsp1
and playing back via ALSA's 'default' device. If you're using MythTV's
OSS output method (most everyone is), to better simulate what Myth is
doing, you should try something like 'sox -r
32000 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp' which *does* output
through /dev/dsp. It's possible to get yourself a setup where output
via ALSA will work but output via /dev/dsp# won't, so it's best to
check what you'll actually use.
Or else, do use aplay, and set mythtv to use ALSA output. (not doable
via GUI yet, see earlier messages for how).
