[mythtv-users] ALSA+2.6 kernel +MythTv not a good combination

[Paul Woodward]

Strange... I have Mandrake 9.2, I built the 2.6.0 release kernel and linked in the dvb-kernel tree. I'm running mythtv-0.13 and alsa-0.9-7 (I think) with no problems. Not managed to get raw spdif out, but that's a separate issue.
