I am assuming when you are using FC2 that you have installed the latest 
updates and are running kernel 2.6.9?  If so, this is one of your 
problems.  The Alsa version that comes with 2.6.9 (v1.0.6) is broken wrt 
SBLive and intel8x0.  You will want to get alsa 1.0.7 from 
http://alsa-project.org (or 1.0.5a works also).

You can redirect that information to a file for easier viewing by 
starting 'mythfrontend > frontend.log 2>&1' (without quotes).

That would be a good idea, at least to cut down on clutter.  I did this 
also.
