But it is mentioning a MythTV patch, that should be included in 0.21. So
it doesn’t sound like a fairy tale.

Exactly. mythfrontend is suspending my pulseaudio server, and I would
prefer, if it didn’t do this.

Maybe. But if I watch TV, I normally watch only sport TV programs. And in
most cases, I would like to hear music as well. With pulseaudio I could
send my music to my stereo and the TV output to my headphones.

If you mean an .asoundrc, that sends all ALSA output to the pulseaudio
server, then I have souch a file. But how should it work, if MythTV
disables the pulseaudio server? What I need is a command line switch to
not disable pulseaudio.
Hm, maybe if I recompile MythTV without pulseaudio support?
Shade and sweet water!
