Interesting. I just found the same problem myself yesterday. I can use
mythfrontend to play video (with audio) to the PVR-350 output with no
problems. But if I type:

cat somefile.mpg > /dev/video16

I only get audio.

At the moment I don't have fb working because I am futzing with
ivtvdev drivers, but I thought video16 shouldn't be using fb anyway,
it should be just the mpeg decode output.

So I guess in short "me too"
