[mythtv-users] Ticket #8509: Fast chopping / stuttering in mythmusic after hdaudio merge

[Kenneth Emerson]

I have experienced the same results with MythMusic (described in ticket
8509) since upgrading to trunk with the hdaudio merge.  Prior to the merge I
was using ALSA:plughw,1,0 as my main audio device and "default" in MythMusic
setup for the audio device.

After upgrading to 24896, I switched the main audio device from
ALSA:plughw,1,0 to ALSA:iec958:CARD=External,DEV=0.  If I leave the music
audio device at default, I get the choppy,stuttering output described in
ticket 8509.  When I change the music device to /dev/dsp1 the music plays
normally.

If I leave the music device at default and check the PCM Analog box in the
general MythTV audio configuration screen, the frontend segfaults (I have a
coredump).

The output from the frontend is:
