[mythtv-users] Your soundcard is not reporting free space correctly.

I have had a myth box set up and working nicely for some time, using
myth 0.14, FC1, and Jarod's instructions. Today, I put a new sound card
into the box, a M-Audio Revolution 7.1 (ice1724 alsa driver). I have
alsa installed, and except for mythtv, the new sound card works fine.
Mythmusic, mplayer, and everything else I've tried is fine. But when I
try to either watch live tv, or play recordings that I recorded before I
put the new card in, I get no sound at all, and the following error
repeatedly from the frontend:
Your soundcard is not reporting free space correctly.
Falling back to old method...
(and some of these, too)
Audio buffer overflow, audio data lost!
The backend doesn't report any errors.
I assume it's trying to use OSS emulation on /dev/dsp, because before
the error messages, I get this:
Opening OSS audio device '/dev/dsp'.
To verify that OSS emulation is working on /dev/dsp, I tried this:
play -d /dev/dsp KDE_Startup.wav
Which worked fine.
I'm at a complete loss. I searched the archives, and came up with a
couple of things that I tried, but didn't work. Does anybody have any
ideas what to try next?
