well, some combination of something I did seems to be working...

I captured the edid through the receiver with everything on.
I installed ALSA from scratch.
I disabled the onboard soundcard.

Now, ALSA:hw:0.7 in mythtv works with AC3/DTS and my hd audio, and if
I shutdown and startup, reboot, or just kill Myth, it works.

I've been fooled in the past, so we'll see if it lasts through to
tomorrow, but at this point it got through 8 hours of use and
"abuse"(artificial to test, system takes about 30seconds to reboot so
not so bad) with no problems.
