[mythtv] [Patch] CD Monitoring subsystem

[Tako Schotanus]

Well yes, that goes even further than what I was suggesting because if 
you know which frontend you are controlling a lot of these features 
aren't necessary. But add a way to ask for status and a way to ask the 
backend for the list of connected frontends et voila.

Maybe a system like KDE's DCOP would work even better. That way very 
complex interactions could be made possible. Hmmmm.... my fingers are 
itching to fire up an editor :-)
