I've found some strange anomolies with the current 0.3.2d & e drivers.
When cardtype=1 is passed dmesg lists ivtv showing the card as
pvr-150.
E.g. modprobe ivtv cardtype=1 ivtv_std=2 tuner=38
When specifying cardtype=2 ivtv lists the device as a pvr-250.

When using the  0.3.2d the pvr-250mce functions with both cardtype=1 &
cardtype=2 settings with a variety of tuners, but without audio. 
Audio came alive for a brief period using  cardtype=1 ivtv_std=2
tuner=52, I cahnged the setting to cardtype=1 ivtv_std=2 tuner=38 and
the audio persisted.  I then tried mythTV which hung after 2-3 secs of
TV.  I unloaded and reloaded the drivers to reset the myth "freeze"
however, reloading the ivtv module using identical parameters resulted
in the loss of the audio(which I have been unable to retrieve even
with a reboot). It appears that an audio function on the card is
flapping somehow.  I suspect as the card is relatively new,that the
cards architecture is slightly different than previous pvr-250mce
releases.
Clearly the drivers has the capcity to "drive"; the inconsitency of
the results from the tests I've thrown at it are confusing.

With the new  0.3.2e drivers, capture stops at approx 670K no matter
what, and I've not been able to get a squeek from the audio.  Looks to
me like something has broken here.

Do you think this might be a new type of card?
Cheers,

Lew
