Is anyone using the new native ALSA support in Myth? 

I'm planning on getting a new stereo in a couple of weeks and I'd like
to make use of the S/PDIF output on my mainboard. My understanding is
that I'll need to use ALSA directly to do this. Right???

I compiled in ALSA support and set Myth to use it, but the results so
far aren't too good. Sound seems off from video slightly and the high
pitches are gone. It's hard to describe, but it's just not right.
Switching back to '/dev/dsp' makes everything sound fine again.

Just curious if anyone else has played with it and what their
experiences have been.

System:
Asus A7n266-VM
Myth CVS (Wednesday)
ALSA 0.9.4
Kernel 2.4.21


Thanks,
Joe
