I played with your code and was successful grabbing the voicemail alert.
Thanks for the code!

Now a larger problem: what to do about notifying the user? Ideally I'd
like to have an alert that appears which requires the user to click
'ok'. This way a voicemail alert would show up and stay present even if
the user is not present (ie, I'm at work, I get a voicemail and I don't
get home for another 6 hours). 

The other problem is having the alert appear regardless of the "screen"
the user is on. mythtvosd only displays its alerts if the user is
watching live tv or a recording. Any thoughts on how to have mythtvosd
(or any program) show alerts at any time? 

I played with xosd (osd_cat specfically) and though it does display osd
on top of X, it isn't within the myth framework and thus isn't themed.
Ie, it's quite unattractive.
