[mythtv-users] OT: no spdif using alsa (see error)

[John Sturgeon]

That did it (at least no more error.. I can't hear the output as I'm 
working on my box (Vancouver, WA) from Atlanta, but as soon as I get 
home, I'll give a listen.

Thanks so much Billy, and Thanks also to Nick Dyer to help me with 
mapping oss-pcm-snd to device 2 so that Myth will work as well as Mplayer.
