Looks like no-one else has replied yet, so I'll answer this part.  I 
have good news and bad news.  The bad news is mythmusic doesn't support 
native ALSA.  The good news is there is a patch available to do it (see: 
http://www.wildgooses.com/downloads/mythmusic_audio2.tar.gz ).  You will 
need to be running the current CVS in order to use it though.  Hopefully 
it will be added to the current CVS soon.  I am using it and it works 
for me.  If you aren't running CVS or don't want to add the patch, have 
you tried OSS over ALSA?  I don't do it myself, but it seems to work for 
others.
