That's the general idea. The existing patch against the development head
needed refactoring to make it compatible with 0.21+fixes. I'm applying
some polish and testing it now. It'll land in my PPA shortly and
hopefully some other Mythbuntu users can give it a try.

Once it is proved I'll push it upstream and see if we can get both the
HEAD and +fixes accepted.

It's especially useful with Hardy and Intrepid based on 0.21+fixes with
a theatre sound-surround system.
