Recent versions of the ALSA library can to mixing transparent to the
application. So all you need to do is settings ALSA:default as output
and mixer device in the mythfrontend configuration. However, this only
works if all applications use ALSA. This won't work if an application
that you run still uses OSS for audio. I don't know if Skype uses ALSA
or OSS.
