I actually prefer to have Squeezeslave, it works well for my particular
application.

For my setup, I run TV and music audio separately - audio from Myth goes
via HDMI to the TV, then from the TV to the amplifier, while music goes
straight to the amp via an analogue RCA cable.

This works for me because I never want to hear music from the TV speakers,
nor do I ever want to listen to music and television simultaneously.

As a side effect of the above, it doesn't make sense to have to start a
program on the "TV" to listen to music, so having the Squeezeslave daemon
run silently in the background works well.
