No, I hear what Andrew's saying; note he says "pretend to change" and
"volume button in Myth."

In my case, I also disabled MythTV's internal volume controls and
(very gladly) have used my receiver's volume controls since moving to
S/PDIF. The internal volume controls' OSD still appears on the
screen--even if useless--if I push [, ], and | on my wireless
keyboard, however.

Andrew, I agree that this is a (very very very minor) bug and one, I'm
sure, that the developers would welcome a patch for. Go with your urge
toward option #1; the world doesn't need yet another pop-up reminder.
