[mythtv-users] ALSA only

Hi all

I am using 0.18 compiled from gentoo's ebuild with USE flags "alsa -oss" 
(among others)

I do not have OSS in my kernel at all.  I do not have a /dev/dsp device

However, when I try recording, I get these errors in mythbackend.log:

2005-04-30 16:29:29.646 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
2005-04-30 16:29:29.764 Using profile 'Live TV' to record
2005-04-30 16:29:29.826 NVR: Error, cannot open DSP '/dev/dsp'
open: No such file or directory
2005-04-30 16:29:29.827 NVR: Could not detect audio blocksize
2005-04-30 16:29:29.844 NVR: Cannot open DSP '/dev/dsp', exiting
open: No such file or directory

How would I configure myth to use alsa for audio input as well as audio 
output?
