Nice to see another pandora solution for myth.
Got this working pretty quickly on 25-fixes, but I found one quirk:
- Enter mythpianod, select station, music starts
- Hit escape but music keeps playing (workaround is to hit logout in
mythpianod before exiting the screen)

Are others seeing the same behavior?

Thanks
Dave
