Looks good. That says mysql is listening on IPv4 and will accept any address.
That's what you want if you've got remote frontends.

The STREAM LISTENING line says mysql is also listening on a socket. That's what
the backend will connect to (as long as the <Host> line in config.xml is set to:
localhost (or 127.0.0.1, but you chose not to allow that earlier, which is OK.)
Once the backend starts, you'll see lots of STREAM CONNECTED lines. More with
a combined frontend running

If: mysql --host=localhost --user=mythtv --password=yourPassword mythconverg
works, then the backend will work too (with the same credentials in config.xml.)
