What about creating a script that alters the content of the .asoundrc file
to change the default audio output to the headset (and vice versa) and then
force alsa to reload (i.e. sudo alsa force-reload, in this case you would
need to alter the sudoers file to allow that command to be executed without
a password).  Provided your Mythtv uses "default" as its audio output, and
it tolerates alsa vanishing and reappearing this might just work if you
execute the script with irexec.
Might be worth a try

Cheers
