MythTV using ALSA plugin doesn't work

Description

I set up pulse audio to be the default ALSA output device in .asoundrc.

Then set up MythTV to use ALSA:default

I get no audio, and this is what is output to the console from myth:

2007-06-11 10:46:29.153 Opening ALSA audio device 'default'. 2007-06-11 10:46:29.328 AudioOutput? Error: Access type not available: Invalid argument 2007-06-11 10:46:29.329 AudioOutput? Error: Unable to set ALSA parameters 2007-06-11 10:46:29.329 NVP: Disabling Audio, reason is: Unable to set ALSA parameters

To get myth's sound working, I must leave alsa configured to use dmix by default.

This is on openSUSE 10.2 with mythtv from the packman repository.

We cannot do much about this. MythTV assumes it can access all audio devices using MMAP. Which is a bogus assumption. Neither can our PulseAudio plugin, nor any other software plugin provide this functionality. This has already been reported upstream:

Simple fix posted upstream... not sure if it will be included.
