[mythtv-users] Problems with watching/recording TV

MythTV is working out pretty well, but I'm having problems with the  
TV-related components (watching and recording TV). When I launch the  
"Watch TV" component I receive an audio error. If I continue without  
sound the tv comes through, but everybody is blue, and mythtv freezes  
when I change the channel. Here is the output from mythtv:

Audio works fine in all other apps, including mplayer and ogle launched  
by mythfrontend. Also, I've installed TVTime, and it plays TV without a  
problem, with sound and in proper colours. For what it's worth I'm  
using mythtv v0.16-1 from the debian packages, and I'm using an saa7134  
TV card. The full output of lsmod is below. Any ideas?
