iTunes has MANY down sides. I no longer have it running even on my

I do not feel I can support any software that insists on telling me

ultimate master of how my systems run, not the other way around.
Ok, so nothing specific. Just a general "I don't like it because I
don't like it" or "I don't like it because I didn't read enough to
figure out how to become the 'ultimate master' of my data files with
iTunes". I can accept that.
No, I played with iTunes for months. My first Mac is this Mini. I have
read. And read. And read. Like I said, I had it working with an NFS
share for my server, which is also my mythbackend machine. And sure, I
don't like iTunes. Sue me for saying it. ;-) I'd rather use XMMS, to
tell you the truth.
I was running iTunes off of an NFS share, but I want the WHOLE
MythTV experience. Playing music meant exiting Myth and launching
iTunes.

No Music support.
My OS X finally went buggy, so I loaded FC4 hoping for media center
nirvana.
Went buggy. OK...
I think this had A LOT to do with fink. I was trying to get XMMS
running, but had zero positive results. Then Software Update stopped
working. Then iTunes stopped working. So here I am with FC4. I will
reload Tiger if I have to, but I am trying to get a full-boat MythTV
system running, which is just not going to happen under OS X.
Maybe it isn't there yet.
MythTV is still pre-1.0 release, you know.
I have been MythTVing since about 0.13. Whatever was current at RH7.2.
It has come a long way, and I am just looking to get feedback from Mac
Mini users. It all seems to be sound related.
Basically, this is not a massive issue, but rather a configuration
question.
MythMusic issues static, WatchTV blows up, Watch Recordings does the
same. Pretty much the core three things I love MythTV for!
Let's stay on topic, folks. This is not an iTunes issue, but rather
a MythTV one.
I will look into that /dev/adsp, but I do not seem to have that as
an option in mythsetup or frontend utilities. Are you successfully
running MythTV on a Mac?
I'm running Front end on 3 Macs under OS X, but just for recorded
shows and live TV. Your issue isn't a Mac issue. It's a FC4/Mac
hardware issue, so I can only guess at what's wrong. I based my /dev/
adsp hunch on what I saw in my x86 FC4 setup.
Granted. MythTV under OS X was nice, but it did not include support for
music. Kill me for rather listening to music than watching TV.
Am I really the only one running MythTV on a Mac Mini? It seems from
the Google searches that I would be a late-comer.
You're likely the only one wanting to run MythMusic on a mini with
FC4 instead of OS X. Others will learn from your experiences. :)
Again, granted. That is why this thread has" fc4.ppc" in its subject! I
seriously doubt I am the only wanting this functionality. If so, I am
now the Geek King of the World, which I seriously doubt. Once the
holidays are over, I am willing to bet that I get an actual answer to
this. Timing is everything, and New Years is not the right time!
Again, Happy New Year to all and thanks for the replies.
