Right, but you wouldn't be able to play the files back through mythtv anymore 
if you did that.

It completely ignores the audio settings for the hardware encoding for now.  
It's recorded at a 48kHz, it's in the file as 48kHz, it gets played back at 
48kHz.  The transcoding process, however, doesn't pay any attention to that 
whatsoever, and just assumes that it's at 32kHz because you said it was.  It 
needs to resample the audio down to 32kHz.

The annoying whine, on the other hand, is an ivtv driver bug (in the msp3400) 
module).
