The ALSA device named "default" is simply the default device and should
always exist. You can change it if necessary, but you probably don't
need to. Putting the string "ALSA:default" in a MythTV configuration
text box simply means that MythTV should use the device called "default"
in the ALSA namespace.

MythDVD works just fine on Ubuntu; I've used it on Edgy and Feisty.
However, to play encrypted DVDs, you need to install the libdvdcss2
package, which isn't available by default, for which you can thank the
US DMCA.
