[mythtv-users] Button feedback in Myth UI

[Dave Hofstra]

mine plays those sounds simultaneously, but then I am using the default oss
device.. Pretty funny how things work different for different people...

There really should be a button feedback option in the myth setup menu at
this point, I have a really fast computer, and there is still lag when
opening mythmusic or something, and it would sure be nice to have feedback
on the buttonpresses so that you know when you hit a keystroke.
