I have to manually type in ALSA:default for audio device, and default for 
mixer device.  (Or whatever, same as mplayer's device argument, e.g. mplayer 
-ao alsa:device=default == mythtv ALSA:default).  Myth detected that I had 
ALSA automatically, and IIRC, /dev/dsp does actually map to ALSA:hw0,0.  But 
don't quote me on that.  Try aplay -L for a list of ALSA devices available 
on your system.
