[mythtv-users] Myth native ALSA support

[Scott Elliott]

Well, I'm not using the Myth ALSA support, but I am using the S/PDIF,
and I am using the same motherboard.  I had to compile ALSA from CVS,
and I had to manually go into the database and use /dev/sound/adsp as my
sound output device.  That's all!  I also use ogle to play DVDs through
it, and it passes through the Dolby Prologic/DTS, according to my
receiver.
