  After I tested my PVR350 with windows (worked like a charm) and had no 
audio at all on my (definitly working) PVR150, too, I downgraded to 
kernel 2.6.23.1 and ivtv from about 2007-06-02. So far no problems.
  Till now I didn't find time for debugging/logging my problems. Hope I 
can do this next week...

  What I found spontaneously is this:

working setup:
Tuner:
         Capabilities         : 62.5 kHz multi-standard stereo lang1 lang2
         Frequency range      : 44.0 MHz - 958.0 MHz
         Signal strength      : 99%
         Current audio mode   : lang1
         Available subchannels: stereo

setup with no audio at all (same frequence, same broadcast):
Tuner:
         Capabilities         : 62.5 kHz multi-standard stereo lang1 lang2
         Frequency range      : 44.0 MHz - 958.0 MHz
         Signal strength      : 99%
         Current audio mode   : lang1
         Available subchannels: mono lang2

  Problems with correct auto detecting of audio sub channels?

Lars.
