Me either. I've got an ASUS P4P800-E mobo with one of those Realtek
chips. I tried the .asoundrc file from the wiki page, and no luck. What
I see from mythfrontend is:

2006-05-01 17:14:03.221 Opening audio device 'digital'.
2006-05-01 17:14:03.221 snd_pcm_open(digital): No such file or directory
2006-05-01 17:14:03.221 NVP: Disabling Audio, reason is:
snd_pcm_open(digital): No such file or directory

So it's back to square one and trying a different approach.
