[mythtv-users] MythTV: Sound issues.

[matt]

Well, I tried that, here is what happened: sound stops.
It appers that I can only get sound on whatever dev. that ARTS has,
for lack of a better word, "Blessed". 
If I have ARTS on /dev/dsp or /dsp/sound/dsp then I have sound,
sound will continue if I move ARTS, but if I start with ARTS on somthing 
other then /dev/dsp or /dev/sound/dsp I will have no sound till /dev/dsp 
or /dev/sound/dsp has been "blessed" with ARTS pressence.
/dev/dsp = /dev/sound/dsp
This sounds like I have a weird driver issue.  Right now I am running 
ALSA 0.9.0rc8, I'm going to try going to 0.9.5 and see if that helps.  
If not, I can always replace the sound card...
