[mythtv-users] Button feedback in Myth UI

[Steve Dorsey]

your solution works great, except that it does not beep when I FFWD  
or RW during playback or live TV. The aplay app stores the keypresses  
and plays them back when I jump back into a MythTV menu.

beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep  
beep beep beep

heh - pretty funny.

thanks,
