for the length of the post, but I'm trying to clear up all confusion on
ALSA's .asoundrc and which ALSA device to use for S/PDIF output from
Myth. The small posts I've made didn't seem to provide enough
information, so I'm going all out on this one. That entails a lot of
"how it works" and a very long--but very flexible--.asoundrc. (Oh, and
by the way, thanks to those who asked these questions, I've finally
cleared up _all_ my confusion about how to create a proper .asoundrc.

Wonderful job in writing a definative .asoundrc. I've followed your
.asoundrc setup. But I'm still not able to get any sound out of my
SPDIF in mythtv except with <b>aplay /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav</b><br>

I've changed the above to something like this:<br>
------------------ <snip>----------------------<br>
pcm.!default {<br>
type plug<br>
## Uncomment the following to use mixed analog by default<br>
# slave.pcm "dmix-analog"<br>
## Uncomment the following to use unmixed digital by default<br>
slave.pcm "digital-hw"<br>
## Uncomment the following to use mixed digital by default<br>
# slave.pcm "dmix-digital"<br>
}<br>

I've even changed the "Audio outout device" in mythtv to "ALSA:digital"
but without any success. Anything else that I need to do?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
