Ok..I was testing with speaker-test. aplay gives the error "Channels 
count non available" for everything except "plughw0,3". Speaker-test 
doesn't give any error.

I have my .asoundrc set up to pipe out to both HDMI and analog. Setting 
mythtv to use that pipe, I can hear the TV via headphones on the analog, 
but nothing through the TV.
