The problem with doing this is one I already ran 
into for a slightly different reason: There's no 
way for a script you call from Myth to know that 
it is tuning the channel during LiveTV vs. tuning 
during a recording. As a result, your volume will 
drop out for 3 seconds if a new recording starts 
automatically while you are watching live TV or 
watching a different recording.

I think you pretty much have to add it to the 
Myth source code, and not to a channel changing 
script.
