[mythtv-users] ALSA audio conflict w/ Boxee/HuluDesktop

[j2u4 j2u4]

I just upgraded from Ubuntu Karmic to Lucid, and now this sound thing is all
messed up again for me.  The "EXPERIMENTALLY_ALLOW_PULSE_AUDIO=1" hack no
longer works, and I've tried every combination of audio source in both
mythtv and boxee I can think of, as well as a number of different .asoundrc
incantations, but no dice.

Boxee works fine if I launch it normally, outside of MythTV. It is only when
launched by MythTV that the sound doesn't work. Anyone have other tips I can
try?

thx,
-j
