Ok, i did some more digging and found that in the top of
/etc/alsa/alsa.conf i had the file referenced wrong, I changed it to
"/home/travis/.asoundrc" and now I don't get that error, but it
behaves as if the file is playing but no sound comes out.

That could be a set up issue with my receiver, I've never used spdif
in it before. However, I've tried ALSA:digital in the output and mixer
fields in myth and i get "No such file or directory Check Mixer Name
in Setup: ALSA:digital.

at least aplay isn't giving me that error, progress!
