[mythtv-users] Problems with alsa & spdif & myth

[John Sturgeon]

Do you have myth "audio output device" set to /dev/adsp ?  That is the 
one that is mapped in oss for me.  Also, I needed to add
adsp_map=2 to my snd-pcm-oss module
#modproble snd-pcm-oss adsp_map=2

.15 CVS (available from ATrpm's bleeding repository) has native alsa 
support enabled but I get a floating point exception (which has yet to 
be addressed) whenever I try and use it.

Good Luck,
