Phone integration is an idea I have tinkered with. As a simple start,
I have created a mythtv menu entry that launches the gvbox
application. Gvbox is a graphical interface to the vboxd daemon. A
suitable lirc configuration for gvbox allows me to listen to, and
administer, recorded messages with the TV remote.  A more elegant
approach would be to reimplement the GUI part using mythtv libraries.
