I have the same problem (0.3.2q) with my PVR-150 PAL. Video is good (apart
from the double vision problem mentioned in another thread), but audio is
not very stable. In MythTV, I lose audio after a couple of channel
changes, whereas with ptune.pl I generally don't. However, I noticed that
MythTV does more with the driver than ptune.pl when changing channels.
Among other things, it sets picture controls (brightness etc.) and does an
enable output (presumably preceded by a disable output, but I don't have
the logs here, so I can't check).

After having downgraded both MythTV and ALSA, my conclusion is that it's
the driver that is at fault. 

I can't swear by this, but I recall that I had some audio problems when
playing through mplayer as well. After having tuned to a channel and
watched TV with perfect audio for a couple of hours, a channel change with
ptune.pl occasionally would lead to lost audio (which I could fix with
ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -p 0 && ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -p 6).
