[mythtv-users] ALSA not working in Myth

[Morten Rønseth]

Hi,

When I do a configure, I always get "DTS passthrough  no" even though 
libalsa2-devel is installed and ALSA in general works OK.
The motherboard has SPDIF output and all should be in proper working order.
What am I missing?




/configure --enable-lirc --enable-xvmc --enable-ivtv --enable-firewire  && \
qmake mythtv.pro && \
make
# Basic Settings
Compile type     release
Compiler cache   no
DistCC           no
Install prefix   /usr/local
CPU              x86 (AMD Athlon(tm) )
Big Endian       no
MMX enabled      yes
Vector Builtins  yes

# Input Support
