Chris, I may have misunderstood you originally, thinking you were using 
the conventional line-in to get sound.  That works for me with Suse 10 
but I have never tried using aux-in.  I was under the impression that 
Mythtv *wants* to use line-in and will try to "grab" that input.

You should be able to easily test your audio decoder by simply wiring it 
directly to an amp and see if audio is present while you are recording.
