[mythtv-users] remote display from frontend

[Ross Boylan]

I'm happy to report that having mythfrontend run and display inside the
VirtualBox VM works quite well.  There was no second video card involved.

The only real problem has been sound.  Sometimes when I skip forward the
sound turns into loud white noise.  Sometimes further repositioning (esp
backwards) fixes it.  Almost always pausing for a few seconds restores
regular audio.  The sound is configured for PulseAudio in the VM;
PulseAudio is running on the host as well.

It would also be nice if I could dynamically resize the virtual screen; I
don't know if myth would be any happier with me resizing the window in a
real machine.
