it seems the video vbi and peek go up and the read mpg/vbi goes down,
which would match the issue cause the audio does sound simmiler to audio
recorded at mp2/3 at 32/64kbps rather then a higher rate like 384kbps.
perhaps this may be an issue with mythtv rather then ivtv? mythtv is
version 0.20.2_p14972
this is from audio line in(it is a mce with rca jacks) hooked up to
expressvu sat
