What audio are you using?   Did you try to cat to a file and play it
back with something like mplayer?  Did you even record anything (i.e.
what's the file size)?

Your errors sound similar to what I saw when I first started setting
up my hd-pvr and had inadvertently hooked up the sp/dif out instead of
in.  If you don't have sp/dif in but  have setup mythtv to expect
sp/dif in, it will not work.
