I have not tried that yet, although I have used it on x86 machines and it
works but i don't like the interface much. Wouldn't be nice enough to throw
out my mythfrontend.

Of all of them I think mythbox has the nicest interface, I don't much like
the XBMC PVR interface either.

I am using HDMI, so digital. I have heard the analogue output from RPi is
pretty hairy in other software as well.

One option might be an external USB sound card. Not all work though
apparently.
