[mythtv] mythfrontend and new version of alsa

[Juha Pahkala]

Hello,

I've been using the native alsa code (AudioOutputDevice = ALSA:spdif) in
mythtv from 0.16 onwards and it's worked very well. But now after debain
updated alsalib and friends to version 1.06a, I get the following error
when trying to watch live-tv or a recording. Is this a known problem?
