[mythtv-users] Digital audio: Movies work, music doesn't

I got movies playing great over my toslink connection using the hw:1,3 device.  However, using the same device DOESNT work with music!

There are no errors in the console, and myth thinks that it's playing music just fine, but nothing comes out the speakers!  I tried to play wav file from the command line to that device and got the same result!

I played with my asound.conf settings (see below) and tried sending the audio to the 'convert' device in case it's a format mismatch...still no go.  Anyone can help???
