This is still an issue in Lucid official release.

Reassigning it to the MythTV devs, while the correct course of action,
resulted in a political dispute and no resolution for users:

According to a later comment on the thread (dated May 2010), there is
another version of MythTV on the way with better pulseaudio support:

....still no word on that.

In the meantime, the following workaround restored functionality on my
system, allowing me to use Mythfrontend with the PulseAudio:default
audio codec, and still get sound from other applications spawned while
mythfrontend was running (i.e. VLC, Mplayer).

Here are my settings for mythfrontend (Utilities/Setup --> Setup --> General)
- Audio output device =  "PulseAudio:default"
- Internal Volume Controls = on
            -  Mixer device = software
            -  Mixer controls = Master
            -  Master mixer volume = 50
            -  PCM mixer volume = 70

........I control the volume with the pulseaudio command line tool "pacmd" using LIRC and irexec, as shown in this script:

mythfrontend resets volume to 100% with PulseAudio:default
