Hi again,

Just wanted to say that I updated the mythnetflix1080.lircrc file to your
latest version, I was also able to change the button that exited the
browser. AND I was able to get the sound working, thanks to your pointer in
the right direction. Fixed the ALSA config so that my NVidia card (which
has the HDMI output on it) was the default card in mythbuntu. It is all
working like a charm!

Regards,

Andréas
