[mythtv] Question about playback

I'm digging into the playback code.  Can someone give me a short synopsis of
the sequence of events that occurs when a playback is selected in
mythfrontend?  It isn't as simple as cat>/dev/video0......

Also, why is LiveTV buffered to/from disk when a PVR-350 card is present?
Is it because it hasn't been coded yet?  I'd like to have the system detect
encode/decode cards and skip the buffering - just pipe the input straight to
the output?

Or is that idea flawed?
