I don't pass any options to the hdpvr module at all and it just works
for me.  Mythtv can select the correct audio device using its settings
alone.

mysql> select videodevice, audiodevice, cardtype from capturecard
where cardid = 11;
+-------------+-------------+----------+
| videodevice | audiodevice | cardtype |
+-------------+-------------+----------+
| /dev/video0 | 2           | HDPVR    |
