I would assume mplayer is using PCM to playback the video files.  I am 
not using the SPDIF right now.  I am only testing with a Nexus-S FF card 
(I do not know how budget cards react with this). The MP3 portion of the 
plugin uses PCM and it does not have a problem like mplayer does.  If I 
just play a mp3, then stop playback, live tv regains its audio just 
fine.  This problem only occurs when playing back both audio and video 
(mplayer).
