Don't you need some audio decoder (a52dec.c or ac3dec.c) in MythTV 
itself to decode the audio frames? I added some assert(0) in the 
*_decode_frame() functions in the above mentioned files and it didn't 
assert out at all..

How to associate the AC3 decoder with myth? ac3dec from alsa-tools 
decodes from files, not from a live dvb stream.
