Nope :) 

I set the audio string by hand in the database, since I had problems 
getting the setup to work. Not tremendously hard:

mysql (-u <user> ...)

Once in mysql:
use mythconverg;
update settings set data="ALSA:hw:0,0" where value="AudioOutputDevice";

That'll do it. This will overwrite all the output settings -- don't use it 
if you have multiple frontends. In that case add:

and hostname = "<HOSTNAME>"

to the mysql query.
