my.mpg should have video and audio, unless you have changed some of the options. cat my.mpg > /dev/video16 sends the video and audio to the output port of the ivtv card. The first thing to check is if all the modules have been loaded up correctly. Check dmesg and look for the ivtv block. It will tell you if something has failed. The problem with ivtv-0.4 series is that it has some of the same modules as the kernel. You want the ivtv modules so you need to check that there are no duplicated modules. If there are then move them to a new name and run depmod -ae. There are some programs, look for mpegcat, that will report the structure of an mpeg file. You can use these to determine if the mpeg file has audio. mminfo my.mpeg should also report that audio settings.
