[mythtv-users] mythmusic and ALSA/SPDIF question - SPDIF working for everything but mythmusic

[Vinton Coffman]

I have ALSA output through the SPDIF working with live tv and recorded 
by following the HOWTO on mythtv.info and using the second, 
comprehensive .asoundrc file on that site.  I changed mythtv's audio 
device to "ALSA:mixed-digital" per the HOWTO and mythvideo to "-ao 
alsa9:mixed-digital".  Both work well.  I can run aplay and get other 
sounds to play while watching live tv, so there doesn't seem to be any 
blocking going on.

I noticed some minor popping the other night but my myth box is Athlon 
2500 and it was recording with both pvr-250's, flaggingcomms (low cpu 
setting) and I was watching a previously recorded show.  The popping 
started when I skipped backward but went away by exiting and opening 
the show again.  Not worried about that, a faster cpu would probably 
fix that.

The problem is I can't find a usable device for mythmusic.  No matter 
what I put in Setup->Media->music->general audio device, I get this 
error "AudioOutput: timed-out opening 'ALSA:mixed-digital'."  The AC3 
pass thru is off too.  This was the only solution I could find in the 
archive, but I didn't have it set to start with.

Does anyone have SPDIF output working with mythmusic?  What device did 
you use?  Is the the same as mythvideo or mythtv?

Thanks,
Vinton
