I have fought this one.  I had it working, then it stopped and I'll be
darned if I can figure out why.  Besides flash in the browser I'd like
Hulu Desktop back.

I have onboard sound but want to use the sound over HDMI.  Myth has no
problem but hard specifies hdmi:CARD=NVidia.  If I disable the onboard
sound hardware to make the hdmi the only one everything goes Foom! and
not even Myth plays.  Wierd things appear in /proc/asound.

Pretty sure flash is only going to use 'default' but I can't get that to
work.  Experimented using mpg123 since you can specify a device on the
command line.  If I follow Myth's lead and say "mpg123 -o alsa -a
hdmi:CARD=NVidia filename" it plays fine.  So I need an .asoundrc
or /etc/alsa.conf, right?  Nope.

Tried it 'by the book' and did this:

mythtv at jester:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: VT1818S Analog [VT1818S Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: VT1818S Digital [VT1818S Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 2: VT1818S HP [VT1818S HP]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

So from that I created an .asoundrc, thus:

pcm.!default {
	type hw
	card 1
	device 3
	subdevice 0
}

ctl.!default {
	type hw
	card 1
}

mpg123 filename doesn't throw an error with that and it believes it is
playing somewhere but the amp never reacts.  Leave out the subdevice
line and it seems to make things worse, don't have the exact error handy
though.  Leave out the whole second stanza and it doesn't care so
perhaps it isn't even needed.
