Hans, I too have been having this problem with one of my PVR-350's. My original email on this situation is here ( http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/37540). I have upgraded to the bleeding edge driver as you requested and managed to get the audio to stop. When I play the video file using mplayer, the console says "Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 7990176 bytes). Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed? For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option." I made my recording using Myth TV version 0.20.2-173.fc8, kernel version 2.6.24.2-10.fc8 (from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/).
It seems like the encoder gets "confused", possibly by an unknown or unhandled error, and the video freezes. If I skip over the video with Myth TV, it plays fine without the audio. MPlayer continues to output the same error message to the console. There isn't an easy way to replicate this. It seems randomly occur on my second PVR-350. I would be glad to send you the video file, but it is 1.9 gb in size. I have included the output from v4l2-ctl --log-status for both cards below. The only differences I notice in the log status are on the msp3400 revision and the overlay. I would change my second PVR-350 overlay to match my first, but I am unsure of command to make the change. The only changes to my system from my previous email is that I am now using the latest version of Myth TV from ATrpms, version 0.20.2-173.fc8 and I am using kernel version 2.6.24.2-10.fc8 from koji.
