This is definitely not the problem I was having. In my case the
backend would try to open /dev/dsp for input and then complain that it
wasn't available (because OSS wasn't compiled in).

In your case it looks like you've set MythTV to output to /dev/dsp.
Try setting the output to ALSA:default as Brad suggested.
