Just as a data point, mine works fine, too - as another poster  
commented, make sure you have the PS3 set up to push the audio via the  
HDMI and not via the optical port.

The only problem I have with Myth and the PS3 is local Channel 10 High  
Def won't play, but that's to do with the MPEG format they use - All  
the SD channels work perfectly.

No - Although I haven't streamed audio from Myth, I can happily play  
audio over the wire from my MacOS Server running Nullriver Medialink,  
it presents my iTunes library and the PS3 plays them fine (except the  
few with DRM, obviously).
