[mythtv-users] Audio - Why Does MythTV Try To Use /dev/dsp1?

I almost have my first Myth box up and running.  However, I can't get 
audio when watching LiveTV.  Myth pauses a moment and then tells me that 
/dev/dsp1 is not available, and give me the option to continue without 
audio.

My box has a WinTV 250 and SoundBlaster Audigy card on a Gentoo 2.6.11 
platform.  I'm using ALSA and can get sound both from 'aplayer' and 
'aoss'.  I have /dev/dsp0 but not /dev/dsp1.  How do I get MythTV to use 
/dev/dsp0?  Or how can I tell what's using /dev/dsp0 causing Myth to try 
/dev/dsp1?  This whole sound thing confuses the hell out of me.

I've searched Google but am at a loss.  It may be interesting to note 
that I had this same problem with trying FC3 per Jarod's guide.  But due 
to other problems with FC3, I moved to Gentoo before solving the audio 
situation.

Thanks,

Drew
