Ok, so nothing specific. Just a general "I don't like it because I
don't like it" or "I don't like it because I didn't read enough to
figure out how to become the 'ultimate master' of my data files with
iTunes". I can accept that.

Went buggy. OK...

MythTV is still pre-1.0 release, you know.

I'm running Front end on 3 Macs under OS X, but just for recorded
shows and live TV. Your issue isn't a Mac issue. It's a FC4/Mac
hardware issue, so I can only guess at what's wrong. I based my /dev/
adsp hunch on what I saw in my x86 FC4 setup.

You're likely the only one wanting to run MythMusic on a mini with
FC4 instead of OS X. Others will learn from your experiences. :)
