[ATrpms-users] FC5, mythtv, saa7134 sound

[John Pilkington]

I gave up trying to resurrect my RH9-to-FC5 upgrade and did a clean FC5 
install last week.  I still have FC3.

I'm using kernel 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5 at i686

There is no sound in FC5 mythtv LiveTV.  This used to be cured by using 
'v4lctl sound mute off', but that was part of xawtv and is not in the 
FC5 repo.  (The last few times I tried to view using xawtv in FC3 I had 
system crashes, but the unmuting still worked.)

'radio' was in the same package, and works in FC3, and I don't see a 
replacement.

"I didn't touch mythtv since ages, but I don't see v4l1 ioctl problems
with the v4l1-compat layer enabled and using saa7134-oss, which will go
away too to be replaced by saa7134-alsa. The mute trouble in the saa7134
v4l-compat is unfortunately also still there."

Is there a workaround known or in sight?

TIA
