I went to one of the mirrors and downloaded the rpms. First, do a
'modprobe -r' to unload the modules from memory. (Since I'm using
PVR-250 cards, I felt safe leaving mythbackend running.) Then I removed
the 1.0.6a rpms via:
rpm -e --nodeps <alsa rpm names here...>
After that, I installed the 1.0.5a rpms via:
rpm -Uvh ./alsa* ./kernel-module-alsa*
Go into alsamixer to check the volume settings and SPDIF settings, then
tested with mythfrontend!
