I happened across your post and the followup's a month later. Wireless,
myth-front-end-like-application, music, low power, no HD ... ? Can't
believe no one pointed you to mvpmc.org.
The difficult part is setting it up. the MediaMVP device needs to be
served it's software every time it's powered down / up (which, need not
really ever happen). That means a server has to be configured -
probably the myth-back-end computer.
As for UPNP devices ... just understand there may still be problems with
the myth-back-end upnp server. I haven't invested the time, but I think
there are some mysql timeouts that make the UPNP clients I have (Netgear
MP101, Popcorn Hour & Galaxy 3500) not work well with the mythtv-upnp
server. And if they don't work well, then these similarly made boxes
(i.e. Syabas software & Sigma Design chips) probably will not work well
either:

the Swiscenter and WizD web sites.
