[mythtv-users] Mythphone - Can't open ALSA ?

It just doesn't support ALSA yet.   MythTVs sounds drivers do not support
enough capabilities for me to use them so I just coded  OSS support. I am
rethinking the audio section of MythPhone at the moment, having just
completely re-done the Windows code to handle lipsync.
