Bug Description
Binary package hint: mythtv
The current (December 2008) mythbuntu packages do not directly support pulseaudio, despite it being the default sound server since Ubuntu 8.04.
Patches have been developed and are found in the mythtv Trac:
http://
For Home Theatre systems that contain multiple sound hardware output, and/or surround-sound services (7.1, 5.1, etc.) there are problems configuring the mythtv frontend audio volume control. In the default configuration with "ALSA:default" (and other ALSA variations) the sound is fed to pulseaudio by the alsa/pulseaudio plug-in.
Unfortunately Mythtv mixer volume control doesn't 'know' about the surround-sound configuration in pulseaudio and will only control the Front Left/Right channels. Front Centre/LFE, Side Left/Right, Rear Left/Right remain at their system-set level.
These pulseaudio patches allow mythtv to directly output audio to pulseaudio, and accept a pulseaudio server control string too.
I've taken the mythtv Trac patches and ported them to the Ubuntu mythtv source and am making it available in my PPA.

Hi TJ:
We tend to not pull in many patches that aren't present in at least -trunk
or -fixes into our packages so that they will resolve properly later when
upgrading to a new revision in case upstream didn't like the initial patch.
Once these land in upstream, we'll be able to pull those into our package
(and backport to -fixes as necessary too).
Poke upstream so they can land there first.
We'll keep this bug open to track the progress at least.
