I might suggest that all alsa utilities, alsactl, and everything else is NOT required to use digital out with MythTV. I'm using MythTV 0.18.1 on Gentoo and I only have the necessary alsa drivers compiled in the kernel. I've never used alsamixer or alsactl, or installed/emerged alsa-utils, alsamixer, aplay, or anything else alsa related. I'm not starting any alsa services during startup. The only thing I did is: Enable alsa support and driver in the kernel. Put .asoundrc in my home directory. Set MythTV as follows: -Enable AC3 -Device = "ALSA:digital" -Mixer = "digital" and that's it. I also have all the other mythplugins working by setting their device to ALSA:digital. Is my setup unique, or are people doing more than need to to get digital audio working?
