Daniel,
I posted my question on the Videolan forum. This is the only response
so far:
This is a hack in mplayer that is used because the MPlayer interface
is actually a seperate application. Therefore the Mplayer video
application needs to force it's window to the front. However, this is
not normal behaviour from an application and VLC will not behave as
such. Applications are normally launced into the Background when
launched trough Terminal or standard C-style launchmachanisms.
If you want to open an application from another application and force
it to the foreground, then you need to use the Cocoa class NSWorkspace
to do this. Or you have to send the opened application an applescript
event.
This should be easy to implement into MythTV for someone with the
slightest experience in Mac OS X programming.

I don't know anything about NSWorkspace, but I can ask some folks
elsewhere about sending an applescript event. Good Luck!
