No, it's a pretty simple device.  Basically the USB interface to the 
XMPCR is used as a serial port.  You send simple byte strings which 
constitute some commands (power on/off, change channel, get song info, 
etc.), and in return you get a response.  The XMPCR has a direct audio 
out so it doesn't do anything fancy there.  I basically would want to 
connect my XMPCR directly to my audio receiver, and just use myth to 
change audio channels and see what's currently playing.

I'm not sure.  What I envision for the XM portion is a simple interface 
that has what's playing on the current channel you are listening to, and 
then a scroll window beneath which lists all other channels which you 
can scroll through and select to change the channel.
