My suggestion would be to take a known working file 
(ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/SillySounds/english.au for example), 
and get that to play.  If you can hook something up with an 1/8th inch to 
RCA cable or plug directly in to PC speakers, that would be a good first 
step.  Once you get that working, then you can move on to more advanced 
stuff (.asoundrc configuration, AC3 passthrough, whatever...)  But first 
things first.  Is it a system-wide issue or a MythTV issue?  I would say 
that's the first step.
