That's quite alright.  I actually agree with what you said, but in my 
case, its not working.  Here's an update.

I just installed Mythbuntu 8.10 completely fresh (since I didn't really 
have anything major that I didn't mind losing).  I ran through the setup 
and I'm happy to report that I now have sound from MythMusic as well as 
from the Analog and DVB channels that I tune.  I had to go into the 
Frontend setup and set the mixer to ALSA:Default as well as put the 
mixer and PCM volumes up to 100.  Also, I had to tell the analog portion 
of my pcHDTV5500 card to use /dev/dsp2.

After all of that, all was well.  All I have to do now is get my lirc 
setup back and working, and then adjust my DVB channels to their proper 
names (i.e 118#0 -> whatever that stream maps to).

Thanks for all of the assistance!
