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.
