Mike,
Thanks, that explains it very well. I need to work on the xine thing.
It is very choppy and I have not figured out how to correct it yet.

For mythtv though I am using the sound out on my PVR-350 which works
great.
Shouldn't I be able to take a mini-stereo plug from
my sound out and put it on the line-in on the PVR-350? When I do
this, I
have no sound. Maybe there is something that needs to be
configured, but not sure what.
Connect the audio out on your PVR-350 to the Line-in
on your sound card. Then adjust the volume by
changing the Line-in volume (of your soundcard) with
your favorite mixer program.
Not sure what that would accomplish. The sound-out on the pvr-350 is
already going to my receiver. I need to get the DVD sound to go to
the PVR-350 so it can then take it into the receiver.
The audio's not coming out of your PVR-350 because the PVR-350 isn't
decoding the DVD. Therefore, you should route the PVR-350's audio out
through your soundcard and route the soundcard to your audio
receiver. Then, when mplayer plays your DVD (although, really, you
probably should be using xine for DVD's to get the menu support) and
outputs sound through the sound card, you get audio without switching
connections.
If you don't want audio to go through your sound card, you can use an
IR transmitter to tell your audoi receiver to switch inputs and waste
a remote button on switching inputs and have to remember to switch
inputs when appropriate. Or, you could apply patches to mplayer/xine
to support DVD playback through the PVR-350, but the patches introduce
some significant issues in sync and you'll get much better results
using Xv and your sound card.
