[mythtv-users] Music playback stopping when external application is running.

[Enigma]

I am attempting to launch an external application (GPS software) on my car
computer while Mythmusic is playing.  I am using an EXEC entry in the menu
to launch the app.  When the app is running, music will continue playing
until it tries to switch to the next song in the playlist and it then stops
until the external app is exited.  I had this same problem several years
ago on 0.21 (http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/330171), in
that version I could modify the code to add the
MYTH_SYSTEM_DONT_BLOCK_PARENT argument to myth_system() and it worked
exactly the way I wanted.  Unfortunately, I am trying to upgrade to 0.26
and the EXEC function no longer uses myth_system() and I am at a loss on
how to modify this version to block remote keypresses to Myth but still
allow the music to play in the background.  Has anyone been able to
accomplish this on 0.26?
