Getting the Creative SoundBlaster Live! audio card to work in MythTV

I finally got this to work by going into the master backend's BIOS and disabling the onboard VIA 82xx audio chipset and rebooting. Given no choice but the SoundBlaster card, GNOME's audio settings no longer present 25-odd choices for configuration and now Myth plays sound on recordings and the remote correctly controls the volume.


Postscript: Master better than PCM.
