If only it weren't Flash-only.  IMHO, it really doesn't do well with the 
real-time requirements of audio playback...  I hear glitches a couple of 
times per hour.

(And then there's the fact that Flash 9 for GNU/Linux triggers a bug in 
the 9629/9631 NVIDIA drivers--the last to support GeForce 4 series--that 
kills the video card and requires a reboot.  And the fact that Adobe 
doesn't provide a Flash player for GNU/Linux x86_64.)

Besides, if it is Flash-only, why "integrate" it in Myth?  Why not just 
have Myth pop up a browser window that goes to the right page using 
"EXEC firefox http://pandora.com/" or whatever?
