[mythtv-users] Lost SPDIF output after apt-get dist-upgrade

[Chris]

Thanks for the points about mplayer.  I also did the upgrade and wasted 
a lot of time trying to figure out why spdif for mplayer wasn't working 
anymore with ASLA.

As for mythtv, I also get the floating point exception.  I use OSS 
emulation on device /dev/adsp and like you I map it to the second device 
for my nforce2 MB using:
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss adsp_map=2

I would prefer that ALSA worked (particularly for capture) then I could 
get mythtv to play my mono sound capture to both channels by using an 
ALSA plugin.
