Indeed, unless LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 is set, hitting pause in mythmusic 
freezes mythfrontend GUI for a while (up to about 25 secs) and then 
pauses as was intended.

Running like:

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 mythfrontend

Makes mythmusic behave. Strange! Anybody with a theory?

I'm running with the 2.4.22-1.2135.nptl_27.rhfc1.at kernel, but I've 
previously seen that for 2.6 kernels, rpm misbehaves unless 
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL is set.

Whats the story with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL anyway? Googling just turns up a 
gazillion applications that need this setting.
