The Digital Sound HOWTO on the wiki
(http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Digital_Sound) states
you do not need to use an external .asoundrc when using FC5 or FC6
(and I imagine F7 to boot). I can't vouch for this as I do not have
S/PDIF output in a machine running one of these distros.
Did it not work with the default installed asound.conf file and the
ALSA:default/default device/mixer settings?
