Ah - that's an easy one. If the mythfrontend users on each box have
separate homedirs, you can set the ac option in ~/.mplayer/config for
each box.
Example:
AC3-enabled frontend has ~/.mplayer/config with:
ac=hwac3,
other frontend has ~/.mplayer/config leaves the option empty.
Of course, if both frontend users share a homedir, you'll be better
served by using a script to autodetect on the fly.
