Because that's MPlayer's job. MythTV /never/ starts the screensaver--it
only tells it when not to activate.
If you start the screensaver, Myth will tell the screensaver, "I'm busy
now, so don't activate." When Myth is no longer busy, it stops telling
the screensaver that it's busy, so the screensaver can /choose/ to
activate when it wants (according to the settings you've specified in
the screensaver program). MPlayer should do the same (and does on my
system).
