IF you are using my repo, trunk packages are compiled with debug on,
you only need to install the mythtv-dbg (can't remember the name of
the exact package) package..

How to run mythfrontend within gdb is explained on www.mythtv.org in
the how to report a bug.

Something like:
gdb mythfrontend.real
set arg -v audio
run

once it crashes, type
bt

and post back the report...

That you aren't seeing the AC3 and DTS option is very surprising
though, especially if it only diplays LPCM on the side, it should
always appear then.

I wonder if it's not an issue with your build
