Hey,

    I have a Sound Blaster Live! card connected to 7.1 amp via optical 
coax cable. When I watch DVDs or anything with xine I get nice, rich 
full surround sound. However, when I watch recorded shows within mythtv 
there is no output from LS or RS. The front , center and rear channels 
all output.   Is this a shortcoming of my current version 
*mythtv-0.20-153.fc6.at*? With the below .asoundrc I set playback to 
ALSA:default.  Any ideas?

Al



pcm.!default {
  type plug
  slave.pcm "digital-hw"
}

ctl.!default {
  type hw
  card Live
}

pcm.digital {
  type plug
  slave.pcm "digital-hw"
}

ctl.digital {
  type hw
  card Live
}

pcm.digital-hw {
  type hw
  card Live
  device 2
}

ctl.digital-hw {
  type hw
  card Live
}
