DVB cards usually give you an mpeg transport stream. > 2) I notice that after a channel change mplayer is struggling with > displaying the video, pressing pause and unpausing after a little sorts > that out. Is this something that is related to my setup IVTV+UNICHROME out > or do others have this problem too? Audio sync in current mplayer sucks rocks in my experience. It often takes ages to come into sync when starting playback. Sometimes twiddling with autosync values helps, but it's pot luck as far as I can tell. > BTW: is channel changing supposed to take several seconds? mplayer seems to like to search the mpeg stream for the program and audio chunks, even if you've told it the pid values beforehand, which means it has to cache a chunk of the stream and scan through it first. There's also some retune time in the receiver circuitry of course: it has to sync to the new signal. For DVB, changing channels within a single MUX *ought* to be instantaneous, since no retuning is necessary.
