Update - I had to resort to the GUI to wrestle pulseaudio into submission:
sudo apt-get install pavucontrol

aplay -l lists my soundcard as default.  However, in order to get my sound
card to show up in the GUI I had to issue $pulseaudio --kill; perfectly
obvious, right?  At that point I could go into the configure tab in the GUI
and select SPDIF for my board.

Anyway - hope this helps other mythbuntu users who might want sound in an
application other than mythfrontend.
