About the time this was committed, I haven't had audio output on either 
of my Myth systems.  Been busy with work and stuff lately so I haven't 
had much time to look at it, but I have been troubleshooting it the last 
couple of days.

Kevin, what kernel version and alsa version do you have this working 
on?  It may help me track down my problem.  I am using kernel.org 2.6.7 
with patches and alsa 1.0.3 that comes with FC2.

If I come up with a solution I will send a patch as a few others on the 
users list have also report troubles with the 2.6 kernels.

Thanks,
David
