We use vmware extensively at work. I certainly have access to possibly
create these appliances. I haven't tried using a USB capture device
(don't have one) in a VM and running a real mythbackend to see if it
would work but the jobqueue idea is certainly interesting. Is there a
minimum installation needed to run that? I'm thinking of a very small
Linux installation that can boot and run jobqueue. Any pointers?
