You need to create /dev/adsp on your box and then define the alsa option 
for pcm in your modprobe.conf (or modules.conf or whatever). This will 
create and install a device called /dev/adsp which is the digital output 
for most cards. If you want specifics, google for "mknod adsp" and "alsa 
adsp" which turns up a bunch of links explaining how to do this. 
Finally, change the mythmusic audio output to be /dev/adsp. Generally, 
you also need to reboot or reload the alsa modules. I've got another 
post on this list with more info, but google works too once you know 
what to look for (that's the hard part).
