Oh, I absolutely changed a ton of things, which is definitely a
complicating factor. I had to rebuild the system after my AMD + nVidia
motherboard died. I replaced it with an Intel core i3 system, and
completely rebuilt all the software with modified USE flags (this is a
Gentoo system). Also during this process I upgraded MythTV to 0.25 to
get VAAPI support. But, the only thing not working now is Myth.

I think mplayer opens alsa in a blocking manner by default, too,
because there is a "noblock" option that you can pass to it.
