[mythtv-users] Audio in one channel only

[Owen Mehegan]

Yep, it looks like that ALSA bug is the issue. I found a link to it  
here:

https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id58

Because the fix is in alsa-lib 1.0.11, and I'm running FC4 which only  
has 1.0.10 available, I followed the instructions in the bug there to  
work around it. Sounds great now!
