To confirm that I'm not crazy, I recorded a show in Myth and played it back
on my Windows box.  It has full sound, but on Myth, using ALSA:spdif, I get
no sound.  If I uncheck the box in Myth to do AC3 passthrough, I *also* get
sound, but of course no AC3.

I'm still investigating, but I'm curious if anyone with a HD-3000 is
outputing AC3 over spdif?

Thanks,

Chris
