That's not the latest. :)

However, it does appear to have the audio fixes for the PVR-150 that
I was thinking might be of relevance here.

Could be that the card isn't getting enough juice on the new board,
but I'm not really sure. Don't suppose you have a 3rd machine you could
try it in, or the ability to try it on the old backend with the newer
code to help narrow down if its a hardware compatibility issue or a
code compatibility issue? Somewhere or another, I have a PVR-500 of my
own at home, I should dig it out and throw it in a machine...

I'd also advise filing a bug in Red Hat's bugzilla, cc'ing me, and I can
get the upstream ivtv maintainer involved, if need be.
