So without looking directly at the code, it sounds as if you could
just make a button that toggles music on/off within mythmusic.  You
could call it attach/detach, and upon selecting detach, return you to
the main myth menu while still playing music.  Upon returning to
mythmusic, auto-reattach, based upon PID possibly.  Still the problem
exists when other sounds are wanted and music is not, and you don't
want to go back to mythmusic to stop it.  Not sure how this could be
thwarted, but maybe some sort of priority setting completely
associated with mythmusic...

Eh, I might just look at MFD and stop wondering...
