38 this is all completely irrelevant to the question.

40 The PVR-150 muxes the audio and video into an mpeg stream.
41
42 When using "composite in" the sound should be coming in the "line in"
43
44 However your driver may need to be switched to the right device, use ivtvctl
45
46 ivtvctl -A - lists the audio inputs
47 ivtvctl -Q - tells which one it is switched to now
48 ivtvctl -qn - switches to input n
