Oliver Great write up. I had figured it out independently but not as elegantly and with more head scratching! Have you had any luck with the crystalhd card in 0.24 fixes? It works fine in xbmc on but I get audio stuttering with the alsa device set as ALSA:hdmi in mythtv. I am sure its a setting that wrong somewhere. Also, have you tried to build the trunk? 8.04 sees to have too old a version of python and when I patched the code in the trunk things wouldn't compile (grrr). Does your hdmi audio work with alsa 0.23. I have been nervous to update from the crystalbuntu 0.19. I think it is only the nvidia driver that cant be updated.
