your solution works great, except that it does not beep when I FFWD
or RW during playback or live TV. The aplay app stores the keypresses
and plays them back when I jump back into a MythTV menu.
beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep
beep beep beep
heh - pretty funny.
thanks,
