r19222 had the fix for the issue I thought it may be, but it seems that
a lot of people having unresponsive keys/buttons during playback were
having problems due to some other factor.

http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5660
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5973
and
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5614 (but the last was trunk)
