Well, with latest saa7134 and v4l2 snapshots, I can get everything working
in mplayer except for sound muting/unmuting. This I worked around by doing
'v4lctl volume mute off|on' before and after starting freevo (in a
startfreevo script). Since freevo mutes Line In until you access TV, it
works pretty well.

On the other hand, TV time is barfing on the saa7134 module (can't get
buffer error). Not sure why since Vektor (tvtime's author) was quite
active in making sure it worked with v4l2. I didn't investigate it too
much as running tvtime externally requires a TV station definition file
which I didn't have handy, among other things (I'd prefer framebuffer to
X).

Hmm. I was just testing VCR_CMD as given. Perhaps some changes need to
be made to the way that recording is handled to support ffmpeg as an
alternative?
