Let me try to get specific for my case so I can see if I understand.

Assume a digital 5.1 surround system that is used occasionally and an
analog TV with stereo L/R input RCA cables.

Are you suggesting this setup for the Myth box?

Passthrough output device: ALSA: spdif

asound.conf:

  pcm.!default {
       type hw
       card 0
       device 0
   }


Before I go try this can someone tell me if it works for them?

Allen
