	Well .... yes, but then you need NFS. I'm thinking about 3 (6?, 12?) months 
from now when I should be able to P2P files from MythBox to MythBox, 
regardless of where they are or if a particular tree is in /etc/exports. I 
just think a clean client/server model (with requisite protocol between them) 
will end up paying huge dividends in terms of flexibility ... my 2 cents :-)

	The lcdproc server is desiged to handle many clients, so that's not a 
problem. I'll need to add a public method to lcddevice though in the form of 
switchToNothing(), so that, say, mythfrontend can lower the priority of all 
it's lcd screens and let a completely different lcddevice object in MythMusic 
get all the lcd screen time. Very easy to do. In fact, I'll do it now.

BR,

Thor
