In my searching the web, I've found lots of posts about this, but none 
have been entirely helpful.  I've seen some rather contradictory 
instructions, suggesting that there are multiple ways to solve the 
problem.  What seems to be lacking is a high-level explanation of how 
this all works, so that I can understand not just that a given solution 
will work, but why.

Really, this is more of a general Linux issue than a MythTV issue, as it 
should work the same way for all applications, or at least those that 
just open /dev/mixer and send out sounds.

In my case, I would like to send sound out the HDMI (integrated nVidia 
graphics), SPDIF, and analog.
