It's an issue with ALSA... A simple restart of alsa-utils fixes the audio.
Moving between different recordings doesn't seem to bork it, however
mythmusic will not play audio 50% of the time i start it. When it doesn't
play audio and I go back to a TV show the audio doesn't work either (alsa
must have died). It's like it kills alsa and it wont work properly again
until a restart of alsa is done. Another interesting thing is that when
going into mythmusic when the audio is broken, I can let it play silence and
restart the service in a terminal. Doing this the audio starts up and plays
fine. There must be something that crashes alsa when first entering into
the mythmusic screen... I suppose this is a new bug introduced that
hopefully is fixed soon.
