[mythtv-users] Problem Recording

[Colin Armstrong]

I think that /dev/dsp still allows mythbackend access to it because I
did not change anything in relation to sound since it last worked, but I
will still check. Here is the error the frontend gave:

Also, when I close the frontend after it gives this error, the backend
segfaults and closes.
