Looking at the code it looks like the one named "Audio Mute" is for the MPEG encoder and the one named "Mute" is for cx18-av-core. As you can see there are three mutes with different ids in my output. This seems very odd to me. >> I'm using v4l-dvb pulled from hg about 2 hours ago.

I tried about 7 different channels. None of them showed a detected audio standard and none of them had any sound when I did test captures. All my test captures have good video. > (Also note that the first analog capture after modprobe cx18 will not > work right: it will have no audio or choppy audio.
