Good. That means that it is recording and playing back the
digital data correctly.

There are two places you should check. In the backend setup
program "Capture cards" section you need to set "Audio device"
to /dev/dsp for recording. In "mythfrontend" Setup->General
page 3, you need to set "Audio output device" to /dev/dsp for
palyback.
