Right - that's mostly why libmythtv has all the video playback code, and the UI is mainly in programs/mythfrontend. > Consider that we already moved the mythmusic audio code into mythlib. > Perhaps we should move in the code which plays the audio files as well > (since it's only a special case of a movie player where there is no > video!)?
