I had a look at it, and I think the approach to set up digital audio
in Myth by playing with and .asoundrc leaving the Audio device in myth
as
Audio output device: ALSA:default

is wrong to start with...

It makes everything so much more complicated and out of reach for most users
.
In 99% of the case using a simple ALSA:spdif , or ALSA:hw:0,3 (if
HDMI) is all that would be required.

I'm yet to find a pc with digital audio not working with either of
those configurations...

With most modern distributions, playing with .asoundrc is completely unecessary
