I considered doing something like that, but after my "transitional" 
playback method worked so well, I dropped all plans of trying to get a 
full-fledged Myth setup for travel.

I use the mythrename.pl script to create useful names for my recordings 
(sorted by original air date so I know the order for playback) and copy 
recordings across the network and play them back via xine.  With xine, I 
have an easy to use, keyboard accessible player that has timestretch (my 
#1 requirement for a player), so it has all the things I need.
