This 'feature' is suggested by users regularly. Which is just one reason why

we ask users to post wishlist features to the wiki and not to the mailing 
list or trac.

If I ever get the time then I might implement this but it's a little more 
complicated than it sounds. Mostly because few people can really say have 
they imagine it working - how is music controlled once you leave mythmusic? 
Should music stop playing when you watch tv or a recording? More importantly

should the music resume playing when you leave a recording? Think carefully 
about that last one because people's first answer is usually yes until they 
consider the possibility of loud rock/metal suddenly blasting out without 
warning.

Assuming that everyone wants music/volume to be controllable even when not
in 
mythmusic and for music to stop when audio is required for other things e.g.

TV, recordings, video, DVDs, phone that means changes to several areas of 
mythtv.

I think the first discussion is, how we implement this??? Should we use mfd
(myth frontend deamon) or should be implement this in the current plugin? Is
it planed to use mfd?
