I agree, it is separate from X, but I wasn't trying to do that, just 
drawing a parallel to it.  The Mythfrontend internal player is running 
in X, so when I kill X, the internal player should also get 
killed...shouldn't it?

As a test, I re-created the failure, killed X, restarted X....audio 
still playing.  Using alt-tab, I flipped through all the programs; only 
one instance of mythfrontend was playing.  I was concerned that X wasn't 
being completely killed.

Not sure what else to try, other than to avoid live-tv.  Should I submit 
this a bug?
