As others have experienced, I am having problems with
recorded video with no sound. I am using a Pinnacle
PCTV Pro with the on-board sound on a ASUS A7V8X-X
(AMD Athlon XP 2500+). lspci output yields :

I have tried both /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1. If I use
/dev/dsp I get sound on the PC speakers but not on the
recorded video - mencoder crashes with /dev/dsp1. See
output for both commands below. If anyone needs more
information, please ask.
I've pretty much isolated this to mplayer and will
start to research the problem in that context. I
figured one or more of you might have seen/solved this
problem so I figured I'd ask to input.
Thanks in advance and Happy New Year!

src/tv/freq.py. To add your own just
# replace tuner_id in the following example with a
valid tuner id (ie: '5' or
# 'BBC1') and a frequency in KHz. You may have as
many entries as you like,
# anything here will simply override a coresponding

# TV Channels. This list contains a mapping from the
displayed channel name
# to the actual channel name as used by the TV
watching application.
# The display name must match the names from the XMLTV
guide,
# and the TV channel name must be what the tuner
expects (usually a number).
#
# The TV menu is supposed to be supported by the XMLTV
application for
# up to date listings, but can be used without it to
just display
# the available channels.
#
# This list also determines the order in which the
channels are displayed!
# N.B.: You must delete the XMLTV cache file (e.g.
/var/cache/freevo/TV.xml.pickled)
# if you make changes here and restart!
#
# Format: [('xmltv channel id', 'freevo display name',
'tv channel name'), ...]
#
# If this variable is set to None (default), Freevo
will try to auto-detect
# the channel list based on the xmltv file. This
doesn't work for all
# xmltv grabber, e.g. the German list doesn't contain
station lists. In this
# case Freevo will output the possible list for you to
add them manually.
#
# If auto-detection doesn't work or you want to edit
the list, run
# freevo tv_grab -query.
#
# Setting this variable to [] will deactivate the tv
guide. If you don't have
# a tv card, you may also want to add
plugin.remove('tv') to remove the whole
# tv menu.
#
# All channels listed here will be displayed on the TV
menu, even if they're
# not present in the XMLTV listing.
#
#
# Timedependent channels:
#
# The TV_CHANNELS-list can look like this:
#
# TV_CHANNELS = [('21', 'SVT1', 'E5'),
# ('22', 'SVT2', 'E3'),
# ('26', 'TV3', 'E10'),
# ('27', 'TV4', 'E6'),
# ('10', 'Kanal 5', 'E7'),
# ('60', 'Fox Kids', 'E8',
('1234567','0600','1659')),
# ('16', 'TV6', 'E8',
('1234567','1700','2359'),
#
('1234567','0000','0300')),
# ('14', 'MTV Europe', 'E11') ]
#
# As you can see the list takes optional tuples:
# ( 'DAYS', 'START','END')
#
# 1234567 in days means all days.
# 12345 would mean monday to friday.
#
# It will display "Fox Kids" from 06:00 to 16:59 and
"TV6" from 17:00 to 03:00.
# 03:00 to 06:00 it won't be displayed at all.
#
# Program to grab xmltv listings. To get a grabber,
you need to download
# xmltv. A possible value for users in the USA is
tv_grab_na
# Use the tv_grab helper to grab the listings and
cache them. Start
# 'freevo tv_grab --help' for more informations.
