[ATrpms-users] Mythtv FC5 v4l sound muting - still needs workaround.

[John Pilkington]

I reported yesterday - after a hint from Axel - that:

> Mythtv 'Live' and tvtime both work with NO video4linux packages or kmdls 
> installed. :-)
> 
> kernel  version 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5_i686,
> 
> v4l device: card 12 (Medion saa7134), tuner 38.

but this needs qualification.  Mythfrontend still has the sound muted if 
run 'out of the box'.  I still need the workaround of running

radio  -f 93.5 -q

in the script that calls mythfrontend; and 'radio' is part of the xawtv 
package that (as far as I know) doesn't build properly in FC5.  I have a 
partial build in which 'radio' works, and I have avoided trying other 
commands in the package.  The original unmuting command was

v4lctl volume mute off

but I think that isn't available now.
