Would you sponsor me? I'm not a DD yet, just a DM. Also, I've sent a request 
to join the pkg-mythtv-maintainers team on alioth some time ago. I still 
haven't got a response. I've been able to join the mailing list however.

As far as the mp3 issue, aside from a dlopened libmp3lame, ffmpeg does mp3 
decoding and mp2 encoding so it's probably better to use ffmpeg anyway.
