I'm only getting one device for the frontend, with a speaker icon next to 
it...an indicator of an audio-only device?

Is it MYTH_AIRPLAY or MYTHTV_AIRPLAY?  I have MYTHTV_AIRPLAY exported in 
/etc/local.d/mythfrontend.start (a script called by /etc/init.d/local that 
starts X, which then starts ratpoison, which then starts mythfrontend). 
mythtv/programs/mythfrontend/main.cpp includes a call to getenv() that looks 
for MYTHTV_AIRPLAY.

I could try setting it again in .ratpoisonrc, right before mythfrontend is 
exec'd...maybe that will make a difference.
