Replying to myself as I guess no one else is running into this
problem. I had to add a couple of lines to mythburn.py to get it to
properly handle EAC3 audio[1].

I then ran into the font bug that was fixed about 11 days ago but has
not made it to RPMFusion stable packages yet (haven't checked testing)
so I applied the patch[2] manually.
