I don't want to start a war-of-mediacentres. Really not. But in terms of 
usability I liked XBMC by magnitudes better than MythTV. In most 
aspects it beats MythTV hands down. Then again, MythTV allows much, 
much more fine-tuning and it has video and TV functions (more or less) 
integrated. The dealbreaker for me was MythTV's ability to chose a 
different player for each video, something I could not figure out with 
XBMC.

And to Brad: In the support forum for XBMC is a "sticky" thread 
pertaining to your audio problem. With solution and everything. 
However, I'm sure you tried your best to get it running. :)
