You need to have the mpeg encoder set up in mythtv as a v4l2 mpeg encoder.
I have been told that mythtv has already been updated to use the v4l2
mpeg encoding api -- it SHOULD work fine.

About the sound...  Can you tell me which inputs have sound and which do not?
(TV, radio, composite) ... I know what's wrong with the sound input, and I can
send you a patch to test.

For instance, this should fix sound for TV, but I need you to verify that it
works before I have it added to the repository:

...if sound is broken on the other inputs, then also remove that ".extadc = 1"
from that input line and give it a test.  Please let me know what happens.
