Oh.  That was totally un-obvious to me.  I though that "program and
channel data" was that stuff I spent half an hour downloading.  If it is
both, then the connection or relationship is un-obvious to me.  Sorry.

Are you saying that 1. mythtv just leaves the audio running and 2. it
isn't a bug?

I think it would be cleaner if it turned off the sound on exit.  Say, for
instance I want to use motv, I unmute the line in, and there is TV sound
just lurking there.

I mean, just on principle, it seems like a program should leave things as
it finds them.

Huh?  I'm talking about the "close" function.  The little "X" in the upper
left.  It just sends a signal, which, it seems, mythfrontend chooses to
ignore.  Am I unusual that I consider that to be bad behavior?  Am I doing
something bad by closing a myriad of other apps that way?

Don't take these comments and questions the wrong way.  I think that
MythTV is a great app.  I am genuinely grateful that you chose to release
your hard work as Free Software.  I'm really not trying to call your baby
ugly here.  It does do things that strike me odd.  I accept that this may
because I'm odd ;-)

Thanks again!
