[mythtv-users] Fwd: Re: [mythtv] Shuttle SK41G audio problem

[mark at zzo.com]

Changed subject for wider audience hopefully...
Whomever has the Shuttle SK41G audio working please give
me some pointers as I can't get mine to work with Myth -
works w/xmms but that's it (tried mpg123, ogle, mplayer = no dice).
Running gentoo w/.9.4 ALSA (also tried the gentoo .9.2 ebuild with
the same result)...
    thanks!

Got the latest alsa stuff (.9.4) & still same problem.
mpg123 still doesn't work either although xmms does.  Bummer.
I also tried using myth's using_alsa method & got the exact
same result.  Guess I'm hosed although I've seen other people
on the list get their Shuttle SK41G's working.
