This worked for me as well.  I'm glad you discovered this, because I
started fresh with a new box and the latest kernel and was really beginning
to scratch my head.

I second this motion.  (Unfortunately don't know what to do code-wise.)

As for me - Gentoo (the latest)

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 0.9.7 (Thu Sep 25 19:16:36
2003 UTC).
Compiled on Feb 18 2004 for kernel 2.6.1.

VIA VT82xx driver

# mythbackend --version
0.13.12102003-1


So anyway, no more errors about being unable to open /dev/dsp, but I still
have some sound troubleshooting to do (I don't hear anything when watching
live TV).
