you're not using ALSA in a standard way so you will always have issues.
ALSA wasn't designed to allow multiple applications access the audio
card at the same time. That's what pulse is for.

You can't expect myth to behave like you want, when there's no reason
it should. If using ALSA, myth expects it to be the only application
accessing the audio card (and mixer)
