As said at the time my problem was no sound as you describe. I at the
time didn't test with pausing etc. I just bought the pvr500 secondhand
and noticed no sound, so I sought and found this patch. As I have
understood it reverts a change made for newer supported ivtv devices.
And as you say you upgraded your kernel and it is very well possible
this thing was introduced after your previous kernel. The bussing in
the audio as Karl also mentioned is a different thing.
