Hi,


With today's git tree I'm still experiencing the same problem that audio isn't captured with mencoder.

Linux dancer64 2.6.15-rc6dancer-gdf7addbb #1 Mon Dec 19 23:18:41 JST 2005 x86_64 GNU/Linux

successful recording is done with 2.6.14-rc5, failure case is done
with 2.6.15-rc6, I'm suspecting that v4l is giving some wrong ideas
about audio information to mencoder.
