i had the default installed with MythBuntu 8.10 which was alsa 1.0.17
Note: Phil had/has alsa 1.0.18 after upgrading...

the above link allowed me to download a script which i had to tweak.
it downgraded my alsa from 1.0.17 to 1.0.16 and removed ALL sound i
previously had. :)
i downloaded the latest, hopefully stable, drivers from alsa (1.0.19)
and ran the script using them.
i now get glorious sound over HDMI using Big Buck Bunny HD/AC3 and
Elephants Dream HD as test subjects. i need to try a couple more
sources, and eat lunch, and i'll report my final settings back
shortly.
at the moment, it appears that the breakthrough really was alsa 1.0.18
and newer...
