[mythtvnz] Various MythTV issues

Hi all,

I'm slowly finding the time to get our MythTV box up and running.

The biggest problem at the moment is I cannot get the audio working when 
watching tv. Current hardware is a Shuttle ST61G4 and a Pinnacle PCTV 
Pro tuner card. This tuner has an audio out connection that I have 
patched back into the line input of the Shuttle but so far cannot get 
the audio through MythTV.

I have verified that I can get audio out of the Shuttle using MythMusic 
and that works fine. Also, I have plugged headphones directly into the 
tuner card and the audio is there. I've also tried adjusting the volume 
levels using aumixer but so far no go.

Currently in the myth settings the audio is configured to come from 
/dev/dsp.

Another thing, when listening to the audio directly from the card, it is 
  badly out of sync with the picture. I'm assuming this is because of 
the buffering MythTV is doing and hoping that when I can get the audio 
sorted, this won't be a problem.

Would appreciate any ideas that people have.

Thanks
Dave
