[mythtv-users] Mythmusic - no audio output [0.25]

[Blammo]

Upgraded recently from 0.24 to 0.25, so many things to like about the
new version.. love both the video and audio setup portions.. neat to
see myth recognize and identity the device on the other end of the
HDMI.. makes it easy to figure out which one it is!

Anyway, all audio related to video playback (mythvideo, mythtv) is
working fine, but I can't get a PEEP out of mythmusic. I've tried
setting the device by hand, choosing "default" etc.. .no audio.

I can use mplayer/vlc/etc from the command-line so I know it works..
here's an example of what shows up in the logs:

again, to be clear, audio works with video flawlessly... (and yes,
DEV=9 is the correct one)

Ideas? Feel like I'm missing something obvious..
