MFD is on the MythTV SVN server under its own branch. It uses RTP to sync
audio on multiple "speakers" to near delta zero time-sync. Still in
development last I looked at it but getting better every day. If you want to
use MFE in the place of MythMusic it will take some modifying of your
current theme's and of course firing up the MFD on all the "speakers" as
well as the source of all your music files. If there's interest maybe I can
type more but I'm sure I know little compared to what you can get from
looking on SVN.
