 With git master, I am having audio/VBI failures for nuv recordings on a
 WinTV or pcHDTV-3000 (analog port) card:

 1. SetInputAndFormat fails trying to set VIDIOC_STREAMOFF

 {{{
 2011-06-04 17:54:57.697 V4LChannel(/dev/video0): SetInputAndFormat(14,

 Reverting to kState_None

 }}}

 The comments seem to indicate this is only needed for some cards so I made
 local changes not to fail if this happens.  Patch is attached but this is
 probably not the right way to go.

 2. Errors setting VBI and audio input options:

 {{{
 2011-06-04 18:07:41.923 RecBase(14:/dev/video0) Warning:
 SetOption(vbidevice,/dev/vbi0): Option not recognized

 2011-06-04 18:07:41.926 AudioIn Error: unknown or unsupported audio input

 device
 2011-06-04 18:07:42.034 NVR(/dev/video0) Error: Invalid audio device (),
 exiting
 }}}

 Looks like it's not calling V4LRecorder::SetOption

 3. VBI recording thread exits.  This appears to be due to
 "request_recording" not getting set, causing the main thread loop to exit
 immediately.  Also, FormatCC was not updated for the new VBI extraction
 code.

 I have attached another patch to address issues 2 and 3,  Not sure if it's
 the right way to fix issue 2.

 4. Tons of VBI select timeout messages

 {{{
 2011-06-04 18:35:49.472 V4LRec(14:/dev/video0) Error: vbi select timed out
 }}}

 I disabled this message in my local tree.

 With these changes, closed captions are still not recorded properly -- a
 few captions show up but most are dropped.  It seems the new VBI
 extraction code is not working well for me.  I haven't been able to debug
 it yet but have temporarily reverted to the old one (in vbi/vbi.c) for my
 local tree.
