There has been no fundamental change on the audio architecture between
0.22 and 0.23 except that if you are using a surround setup with
digital audio, you know set it to 5.1 instead of stereo.

So your configuration should be the same as it was before....

If it broke, you modified something else and that's not in mythtv.

pulse native support is broken in myth, less so than in 0.22 but it's
still broken...
when you start myth, if you are using ALSA output, the pulse server is
suspended.
If you don't want the pulse server to be suspended.
Set the environment variable: DEBUG_PULSE_AUDIO_ALSA_EMULATION before
starting mythfrontend
this prevents myth from suspending pulse.

You shouldn't have to change anything to have it working like it used to
