The audio's not coming out of your PVR-350 because the PVR-350 isn't

out through your soundcard and route the soundcard to your audio
receiver. Then, when mplayer plays your DVD (although, really, you
probably should be using xine for DVD's to get the menu support) and
outputs sound through the sound card, you get audio without switching
connections.
If you don't want audio to go through your sound card, you can use an
IR transmitter to tell your audoi receiver to switch inputs and waste
a remote button on switching inputs and have to remember to switch
inputs when appropriate. Or, you could apply patches to mplayer/xine
to support DVD playback through the PVR-350, but the patches
introduce some significant issues in sync and you'll get much better
results using Xv and your sound card.
Thanks, that explains it very well. I need to work on the xine
thing. It is very choppy and I have not figured out how to correct it
yet.
Make sure you have Xv support (i.e. install John Harvey's ivtvdev driver
for X) and use
xine -V xv --no-splash --auto-play=fhq --auto-scan dvd
