[mythtv-users] Long jump from 0.21 to 0.27.4 , mostly OK except audio !!

I am doing a long jump from 0.21 to 0.27.4 on a fairly new system
with pvr-350 and the set top box.

Compiled the mythtv from the git sources and installed it. From this
mailing list, understood that the myth database cannot be imported.
So I configured one input source and one channel for the purpose of
testing. Now LiveTV is OK but the problem is audio...

On this system I have the following audio connectors

- Intel HDA with Realtek ALC 662

- one SPDIF out  - (this is connected to an A/V receiver and mplayer
can play the AC3 streams fine, but this receiver is "going away", so this
port will be  useless soon)

- 3-port stack (labelled as LineIn, LineOut and Mic)
I want to configure this as a 6-channel audio playback. If I do this
I loose the LineIn port. Earlier I had cabled the pvr-350 audio output
to system LineIn. So now i took the  pvr-350 lineout direct to
the TV speakers.  Trouble is I am not getting any sound ..

(no, I am not worried about the 6-channel setup as of now, just
the basic audio connection)

I observed two things..

- In 0.21 I had seen the following config screen under
  Settings/TV Settings/Playback:

------------------------------------------------------------
Hardware Decoding Settings:
[x] Use the PVR-350;s TV out/MPEG decoder
     Video device for the PVR-350 MPEG decoder:  [/dev/video16]
    
      Program Guide Alpha:  [164]
[-]  TV audio through PVR-350 only

<cancel/back/Next>
--------------------------------------------------------------
I cannot seem to find a similar settings. Is this gone ?


- In 0.27.4 under  Setup/Audio, I tried inputting
ALSA:default, ALSA:Default, but it throws up saying
invalid device..


I want to ask the veterans, is my audio configuration
feasible ?  How should I proceed ?

thanks
sholla
