Somehow I broke the audio microcontroller auto audio standard detection
by slowing down IO accesses to the CX23418 (by 1 PCI clock cycle
each!?).  This is only a problem on 1 of my three machines: the 1 I
didn't test the change on of course.

I'll submit a quick fix to be pulled for v4l-dvb, and then try to figure
out what's going on.  Until then load the module with the mmio_ndelay
parameter set to 0:

# modprobe cx18 mmio_ndelay=0

That fixes the problem for me.

The audio microcontroller is free to muck with the mute control if it
thinks the audio on the tuner SIF has changed.
