Yes. Audio standard is related to video standard. So, it is easy to map on what
standards you have BTSC or EIAJ.
You could find that info listed on some places, like:
http://www.videouniversity.com/articles/world-wide-tv-standards
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BTSC
and on good analog TV books.
Basically, BTSC/EIAJ applies only to PAL/M, PAL/N and NTSC/M. So, if the
standard is
not PAL/MN, mts should always be equal to 0. We may have a patch at
tuner-xc2028 for that.
If standard is V4L_STD_MN, we have:
For NTSC standards:
if standard == V4L2_STD_NTSC_M_KR, audio is A2 (Korea) and mts should
be 0.
if standard == V4L2_STD_NTSC_M_JP, audio is EIAJ (Japan).
All the rest use BTSC (or are mono, but the BTSC decoder is designed to
be
backward compatible with NTSC mono FM transmission).
For PAL:
V4L2_STD_PAL_M - always BTSC
V4L2_STD_PAL_Nc (only Argentina) - always BTSC
V4L2_STD_PAL_N (Paraguay/Uruguay) - they also use FM for audio. I
think it is also BTSC.
So, basically, assuming that some device could potentiallt have both SIF and
MTS baseband
wired and that the audio decoder is not capable of decoding EIAJ/BTSC, it makes
sense to
add something like this at tuner-xc2028:
/* MTS is only valid for M/N standars, except in Korea */
if (!(std & V4L2_STD_MN) || (std == V4L2_STD_NTSC_M_KR))
mts = 0;
and, for such device, specify xc2028 with mts = 1.
For devices that support only mts, it makes sense to change the supported
standards to
just V4L2_STD_MN.
However, we cannot assume that (std & V4L2_STD_MN) && (std !=
V4L2_STD_NTSC_M_KR) is always
mts, as it will depend on how xc2028/xc3028 is wired to the bridge/audio demod.

Developers need to test, but, based on my experience with other xc3028/2028
devices,
in general, the ones sold in US are only MTS.

Except if the tm5600/tm6000 SIF decoder for BTSC/EIAJ is broken, we don't
need to map the differences between only SIF and SIF + MTS.
All boards sold in Europe should support SIF, so mts should be 0 for them.
