It's not a bug in mythtv.  No parameters of the video_channel struct are being 
modified in that function, so there is no reason to set call that ioctl.  
Additionally, calling VIDIOCSCHAN there causes audio problems on other, more 
common, bttv cards.

If setting the capture volume on your card mutes it, I'd say the driver is 
broken and needs fixed, not mythtv.
