Another thing along those lines to try is to move the .mpg file to
another machine where you know sounds works (like a Windows machine)
and see if you can play it with sound or not.

Also, have you rebooted your machine since renaming the msp3400 kernel
modules?  I find that sometimes the non-ivtv module gets loaded even
though I've rmmod'ed it and deleted the non-ivtv msp3400 file.  Or it
might even be as simple as rmmod'ing the msp3400 (you didn't specify
if you did that or not).

Just some ideas for you to try out.
