When configuring MythTV, the audio setting will look something like this:

ALSA:iec958 {AES0: 0x02}

That "AES0" part is actually a bitmap of settings. One of the bits is 
the equivalent of "iecset audio 0". If you can figure out the right 
value and put it here, MythTV will automatically do the equivalent of 
"iecset audio 0" for you.

To figure out what it is for you, do this:

iecset audio 1
iecset -x   (look at what it says)
iecset audio 0
iecset -x   (compare with the previous value)

If you see that the second value for AES0 is something other than 
0x02, you should probably use that value in Myth's settings.

By the way, you shouldn't have to quit MFE just to run "iecset". All 
you should have to do is make sure it's not actively playing anything.
