[mythtv] Couple Newbie Questions -- One Step Closer

[Michael Kedl]

I have RH 8 and was seeing this exact lockup until I switched to ALSA.
I couldn't seem to get the Full Duplex drivers that come with RH8 to work
with mythtv correctly.  They "seemed" to work when I tested them manually.

Download the ALSA system from their website http://www.alsa-project.org
