Ah, that's a problem. I don't think I'd be willing to live with mono. I
guess it would be possible to record the audio separately and then remux it
into the h.264 stream but it'd be hard to get the sync right.

The PVR150 is a nice card - what's wrong with yours ?

The audio gets very distorted and full of static when starting a recording.
It's apparently not that unusual as I easily found a work-around on the net:
resetting the audio with
v4l2-ctl --set-audio-input 1 -d /dev/video0
fixes the problem. But it didn't used to exhibit the issue at all and then
for a while it was intermittent. So I suspect the hardware. And there has
been one case where resetting the audio didn't work and I had to reboot to
fix it.

Cheers,
Steve
