The digital audio decoding amplifier will be responsible for the
volume levels when using an SPDIF as I understand it with my system
(the SPDIF just outputs a digital stream of the audio data, the
decoder then decodes and amplifies individual channels). Analogue
audio can obviously be controlled using either MythTVs internal
controls or an external mixer like alsamixer.
