Use hardware encoding.  Then it doesn't need access to your sound card
when a record event pops.  And since the CPU overhead for recording is so
low, it doesn't much matter what else you do on the box.

I'm currently running fvwm with two pages.  I just grab the wireless
keyboard/mouse and push the mousepad right until myth flips off and a
blank screen with an xterm comes into view.  I can do whatever I want and
just flip back and forth from myth to another app.

I haven't had any luck getting mythmusic running on woody so that is how I
play mp3's right now.  Kinda suspect that is why it hasn't been .DEBified 
yet.
