Interesting. I decided to have a play around with mine last night to try
and fix the audio problems I've been having. I think I've managed to cure
them, but I'm not really sure how. I now have:
options cx8xx i2c_scan=1 nicam=1
in modules.conf. That seems to have helped the audio in some way. I
think my remaining problems on one or two channels is due to the fine tune
needing tweaking in mythtv.
I think also, the problems I was having before with crackly audio were
because while I was recording I was using 100% CPU (for an unrelated
reason) and I've also tweaked the capture resolution which seems to have
improved picture quality.
I'll try to give your mplayer command a go and see what happens. In the
past I think I've had arecord/aplay working reasonably with similar
settings to what you have about (stereo, 48k).
