Or better, use native LIRC in both MythTV and MPlayer, and in 
~/.mythtv/lircrc (which could be linked to ~/.lircrc):

begin
  prog = mythtv
  button = vol_down
  config = Left
  repeat = 1
end
 
begin
  prog = mythtv
  button = vol_up
  config = Right
  repeat = 1
end

and in ~/.lircrc

begin
  prog = mplayer
  button = vol_up
  config = volume 1
  repeat = 1
end

begin
  prog = mplayer
  button = vol_down
  config = volume -1
  repeat = 1
end

And don't modify ~/.mplayer/input.conf .  Myth knows to ignore LIRC 
commands after it starts external programs (such as MPlayer), so as long 
as you start MPlayer through Myth, Myth won't respond to those button 
presses in the background.
