Thanks Hamish, I've been trying to use ALSA but my biggest gripe with
it is that I can't control the volume in mythMusic with ALSA. It's
really weird. If I use /dev/dsp the volume works fine in both
mythmusic and mythtv, if I switch to ALSA I can control the volume in
mythtv but not in mythmusic. Anyway, I'll see if the alsa-users have
any idea.
Are you using "default" (no quotes) for the mixer device?
No, I am using ctl.mixed-analog as the mixer for "general settings" in
the setup pages (with the mixed-analog as the sound device). It works
for the TV but in mythmusic chaning the volume doesn't do anything.
Weather I change the audio device in the mythmusic setup page to
mixed-analog or leave it /dev/dsp.
I'm using the .asoundrc found here:

Wow. That's a pretty nice .asoundrc. ;) Maybe that Mike Dean guy
should update it for ALSA 1.0.9 (which enables dmix by default for
soundcards that don't support hardware mixing)....
(On the bright side--for anyone who's considering upgrading--the one
posted works fine with 1.0.9. It's just a bit more explicit than need
be. So, maybe the explicit version that works on all ALSA 1.x versions
is better...)
It seems to work great except for the mythmusic volume problem.
Change Myth to use "ALSA:mixed-analog" for the sound device and
"default" for the mixer. The control device is not the same as a mixer
control. It's used to get access to controls (like the mixer control),
but it is not a mixer in and of itself.
