[mythtv-users] OSS -vs- ALSA sound

[David Meiser]

"Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I'd swear I was unable to use the digital 
coax output on my Audigy with OSS. "

This was/is absolutely correct.  I'll stick to my guns on this one:  the 
best support for any sound card comes with ALSA.  This is especially 
true with the SB Live/Audigy/Audigy2 series (EMU10K1-based) cards.  If 
you find the controls confusing in alsamixer, user alsamixergui, kmix, 
gmix, aumix, or any one of hundreds of mixers.  The basic controls are 
still the same, honest.

Peace,
DAVE
