<br>after changing a channel you hear a loud noise / hiss during the first seconds after the sound frequency is correctly found everything is ok.<br><br>This problem has been worked around in some other programs like e.g. TvTime by setting the volume to 0 the first seconds and then the volume is faded in to the normal level. I haven't seen such an option in MythTv
<br><br>What I would like to do is to create a change channel script that sets the volume to 0, changes channel and after 3 seconds e.g. restores the level. An example of such a script has been created and can be seen at

I can only find Suse 10 rpms to install v4l tools, is this gonna work on Fedora Core 4 ??
<br><br>My questions:<br>- is there an option in MythTv to fade in after changing channels? If not:<br>- how can I change channels from a command line, is there an MythTv API I can 'talk' to? or do I need v4lctl, are there alternatives?
