[mythtv-users] Audigy AC3/SPDIF out?

[Curtis Wood]

   I had similar problems with two different sound cards that I had, 1
on the mb and a sb16. I dont have the audigy - but the errors your
getting is from alsa not being able to handle multiple interfaces. There
is a patch out there floating around (do a search on "alsa multiple
devices"), that you need to apply to the kernel - and then reinstall
alsa...
