[mythtv-users] analog and HDMI audio output

[Daryl McDonald]

I never was able to get this working with the method suggested by Josu, but
for people wanting simultaneous sound output over multiple devices using
Mythtv in an Ubuntu desktop environment, directions from this link "
http://askubuntu.com/questions/78174/play-sound-through-two-or-more-outputs-devices
"
were successful for me. :-))
