You have to realize, though, that Myth uses the tuner card even when you're
not watching anything, for doing scheduled recordings.  So even if it did
'turn off' the tuner card sound when done, it would be likely to
'spontaneously' turn it on again (possibly in the middle of the night,
startling you out of your sleep...).  The best (only) option is to just
leave the line-in muted.  Myth was not really designed to co-exist with
other programs that use the tuner card.
