Using mythtv from rpmfusion I was having problems with audio in mythfrontend. Mythfrontend automatically disables pulseaudio by default on startup, resulting in no audio output.
You can override this behavior by setting EXPERIMENTALLY_ALLOW_PULSE_AUDIO=1 in your environment before running mythfrontend.
Myth will no longer disable pulse, and audio works fine (assuming you have a working pulse implementation). I haven't noticed any discernible audio/video sync problems caused by the ALSA-->Pulse-->ALSA stuff, but YMMV based on your hardware.
In your mythtv settings, you will need to set the output to "ALSA:default" and set the volume control to control Main instead of PCM.
Just throwing this out there in case anyone else is having problems.
