Title:
  em28xx incorrectly sets Terratec Grabster AV350MX resulting in no
  sound - Workaround provided

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When using Ubuntu 12.04, 64bit, kernel 3.2.0-24 with my Terratec
  Grabster AV350MX plugged into USB, the wrong settings are applied,
  allowing only a video picture with no sound via mplayer, vlc, and
  arecord. I verified that the error still exists in kernel 3.4.0-rc6.

  WORKAROUND: Insert Grabster and leave inserted. Execute at a terminal:
  sudo rmmod em28xx
  sudo modprobe em28xx card=67

  Now enjoy video with sound with (PAL video, video on /dev/video0,
  sound on alsa hw:1,0):

  mplayer tv:// -tv
  
driver=v4l2:width=720:height=576:outfmt=uyvy:device=/dev/video0:input=0:fps=25:alsa:amode=1:forcechan=2:audiorate=48000:adevice=plughw.1,0:forceaudio:immediatemode=0
  -ao sdl,alsa

  or record to file with (1 minute of uncompressed video/sound):

  mencoder tv:// -tv
  
driver=v4l2:width=720:height=576:device=/dev/video0:input=0:fps=25:alsa:amode=1:forcechan=2:audiorate=48000:adevice=plughw.1,0:forceaudio:immediatemode=0
  -oac copy -ovc copy -o myvideofile  -endpos 00:01:00

  An insight to the work around is the Terratec Grabster AV350MX (lsusb:
  0ccd:0084) is similar to the Terratec Grabby (0ccd:0096) with the same
  hardware chip Empia EM2860. Also, in the kernel driver file em28xx.h
  the former is card#68, while the latter is card#67.
