    I don't see it as that big of a deal. MythTV running in a window
on the desktop does well enough. I am not sure a separate app would
do any better while potentially doing remarkably worse.

    Having the internal player being a separate app could be cool
though. There are certain hacks that you can do with xine and mplayer
because they're separate. It would be cool to do those with the 
internal player too.
