Hi,

I'm a very new member of this list, and I stat here to complains (how bad !)

I use hauppauge cards since a few year, under linux and with ivtv. (a PVR 350 and a PVR 150). each card is in a different system running freevo.

Yesterday, I updated one of the system to Mandriva 2009 (Thas is, a kernel 2.6.27, and ivtv 1.3.0). Just before, my two systems were running with a 2.6.24 kernel.

I live in France, and receive analog program trough a Cable Operator. The 23 analog channel are in secam.

After the update, I noticed that most channel didn't have any sound. Searching further, I discovered that channels I can hear are sendind the audio signal in stereo (SECAM stereo is NICAM, a numeric soundtrack encoded in some unseen video lines in the picture, because original SECAM sound modulation was AM, and not updatable to stereo). Other channel were muted.

I finaly found that this behavior can be changed :

By default, freevo set the tuner in 'generic secam' : v4l2-ctl -S tell me :

$ v4l2-ctl -S
Video Standard = 0x00ff0000
       SECAM-B/D/G/H/K/K1/L/Lc

French flavour of SECAM is SECAM L. If I set the tuner for SECAM-L :

$ v4l2-ctl -s secam-L
Standard set to 00400000
$ v4l2-ctl -S
Video Standard = 0x00400000
       SECAM-L

Then I have again sound.

Here the question : should I consider that new way like a bahaviour ? Or is 
that a 'bug' ?

In the later case, I should be able to do any needed tests, if useful.

Thanks,
Pascal
