I believe there is a setting in mythvideo (or was that mythaudio???)
for the sound.  At that point everything should go to the HDMI and you
will likely have no sound to the analog connector.  Look around and
let me know if you can't find it and I will check next time I am at
the system.

I would also love to have analog and digital output at the same time
but was unable to solve this.  I believe some people had sound cards
that allowed this but my Intel-Audio onboard sound is unable to do
this.  I ended up using a second spdif decoder to decode stereo for my
TV.  My receiver is digital input.  In your case, you might end up
with analog into the TV as well as the hi-fi as I would assume your TV
speakers probably cannot tell the difference.

If you figure out how to get digital and analog at the same time,
please let me know.  I will add it to my wiki and eliminate one piece
of gear from my system.
