PVR-x50 users don't use *any* audio-in source in the configs.

If mplayer is playing back the streams fine, then it's obviously not a recording
problem.

Maybe somehow Myth is muting the audio output???  I really don't know - I'm
using OSS emulation with a Soundblaster Live and it works fine.  The only cable
going to my PVR-350 is the antenna coax cable.
