[mythtv-users] Nforce + alsa native support

[Drew Bernat]

Does anyone here have Myth's alsa native support working with an NForce 
board? Better yet, anyone using SPDIF output with that setup?


I've been trying to get Myth to use the digital output to reduce my cable 
runs. Myth is built with ALSA support and I'm trying the latest CVS of 
ALSA. However, as soon as I enable native ALSA 
(AudioOutputDevice=ALSA:default) playback of anything becomes incredibly 
choppy. The console scrolls "Audio buffer overflow, audio data lost" and 
"<date> prebuffering pause".

System specs:
Mythtv CVS from the 24th
ALSA CVS from today
Audio output set to ALSA:default (:hw0,0 is the same)

I *think* that the problems are due to the fact that the NForce chipset 
locks itself to 48Khz, but I've set Myth to record at that rate 
(settings->recording profiles) and it makes no difference. 

If anyone has a working setup, can you send me your configuration?
