Try ALSA 0.9.0rc6 =)

There isn't any way to play wavs from within mythtv right now, but 
parsing/playing .wav files is extremely easy to do..  A lightweight 
implementation is easily < 100 lines of code.  I've been pondering moving 
most of the mythmusic core into the libmyth library, but it doesn't play .wav 
files.

Anyway, the hardest thing about doing that would be making sure that the dsp 
device is only used by one playback at a time..

But, if you want to write all that, go right ahead.  It'd be a fairly neat 
thing to have.
