It appears I spoke too soon.  It appears to work on and off.  It works, then 
for a few reboots it doesn't, then suddenly after a reboot it will again. 
It seemed to be good, then I added a .asoundrc file to try to set the 
default device for outside of MythTV and that's when audio stop working 
completely.  I removed the file and audio came back....however it only seems 
to work with random reboots.
