Doesn't matter, I'm afraid

I just had the same problem when upgrading to the latest Xebian.

The sound device in the X-box has no mixer, so in order to make ALSA 
work you have to disable internal mixing in myth.
You also need a good .asoundrc and instead of selecting /dev/dsp in 
audio you have to write ALSA:(device from asoundrc)

Good luck!
