There's two separate errors here.  The decoder errors mean the file
can't be found for some reason. Try running 'mythfrontend -v playback'
which will should give a more detailed log of what it's trying to play.

I'm not sure about the ALSA errors. The first thing I would do is check
the Audio Device setting is set to 'default' on the first page of
MythMusic's General settings. I'm assuming you have sound when playing
back recordings, livetv etc?
