My contribution to MythTV is here:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Commercial_detection_with_silence_for_UK_freeviewHD

It's based on the one above but works on DVB-T2 as well, does not need  
to transcode the audio stream and can be run in realtime. I've not  
figured out how to get it to update the frontends as it progresses yet  
(help needed).

It works on all the Freeview channels I receive but don't try it on  
cartoons/animation they have silences that confuse it.

Cheers,
Tim.
