How do you want to control the audio volume - from within MythTV or
via your amp?

Note that the default devices are just whatever ALSA or Pulse are
configured to use from the list of available devices. You could
configure your SPDIF output to be the default device if you wanted to
send all audio to the digital output. For ALSA, there is the digital
sound howto on the MythTV wiki which explains how this is achieved.
PulseAudio is looked on less favourably, and to date I've stuck with
ALSA.

Cheers,
Nick
