[mythtv-users] Myth CVS + Alsa + S/PDIF

[Nick Adams]

Hey guys,

I'm currently using myth from CVS and are having some problems with audio.

I'm attempting to output all audio via spdif to my receiver. The sound 
card is a cheapie C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 but works fine when 
using mplayer. I assume that all the connections and hardware is working 
fine given this.

I have tried ALSA 0.9.8 and 1.0.3. In Myth I have tried setting 
ALSA:default, ALSA:spdif, ALSA:iec958 and also tried the OSS emulation 
mode. Nothing works :( I can immediately drop out of myth and have it 
working with mplayer.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks,

Nick.
