Tonight I will try just running the mythfrontend from the old system's
root partition (I ping-pong installations between 2 root partitions so
I can go back to a fully working one quickly.  Unfortunately in this
case, audio wasn't working with the old installation on the new
hardware).  The mythfrontend there is version 17961M (vs 18753M on the
new one), showing the same "Library API" and "Network Protocol", so
I'm hoping that I can just run the old executable and it'll work
enough to see if the same issue occurs.  Unless I run into database
schema issues.  Will report back later...
