Hi List, I just upgraded my home-server and at the same time upgraded mythtv from 0.16 to 0.18.1. The upgrade went reasonably easily despite some strugling with the new DVB channel setup stuff. But, I'm having a really strange problem with alsa now. The thing is, mythtv with alsa has some problem when I'm running mythtv in QT/E and DirectFB setup (my normal environment), but not when I'm running it in X11. I don't understand how this is possible since I've compiled both with the same settings except for the display output. My 'audio output device' 'is ALSA:spdif' and the following happens whether I have 'ALSA:default' as mixer device or I have disabled the 'use internal volume controls'
So, the thing is, I can hear the audio throuh my external amplifier when I'm running mythfrontend in X11 (a vnc desktop, that's why it doesn't find Xv support), but I get a 'Unable to set sw params for playback: Invalid argument' when I'm running mythfrontend with QT/E+DirectFB setup. The console ouput for both cases is at the end of this mail. Can anyone see what the problem is here? I find it very strange. Maybe somebody has a fix lying around somewhere?
