This may indicate the driver for HVR2200 needs fixing for .au transmissions.
There was a lot of trouble getting this just-so a year(? two years?) back on the
linux-media list. I had issues like this with a dvico card that now
seem to be resolved
(ubuntu lucid 2.6.32 with latest 0.24-fixes).

It might be worth emailing linux-media at vger.kernel.org about this,
with the modinfo for the kernel modules you are using and lspci -vvv
etc. I thought the fix was done in a generic
way for all drivers, but perhaps there is something lurking in this case.
