Thanks, that is good information. I set it up that way, and it works for me.

The irexec method works great.

What would be even better would be Myth calling the button press script with
two arguments. First context (music, video, recordings ...) second the actual 
button.

This way I could have buttons play different sounds depending on...

I am not too motivated to look into it. The current solution works too well.

Damn 80/20 rule ;-)
