[linux-dvb] Left and right audio swapped on Siemens DVB-S?

[Klaus Schmidinger <Klaus.Schmidinger@cadsoft.de>]

I'm using a Siemens DVB-S card, which is connected to the TV set with the
cable that came with the card (Cinch and phone jack ("Klinke") on the card side,
Scart on the TV side. With this setup apparently the left and right audio
channel are swapped. I double checked this by inserting

 void cDvbApi::SetVolume(int Volume, bool Absolute)
 {
   if (fd_audio >= 0) {
      volume = min(max(Absolute ? Volume : volume + Volume, 0), MAXVOLUME);
      audioMixer_t am;
      am.volume_left = am.volume_right = volume;
+     am.volume_left = 100;
      CHECK(ioctl(fd_audio, AUDIO_SET_MIXER, &am));
      }
 }

into VDR's source, so that there would be a big difference between the
two audio channels. With this change the *left* channel is loud and the
*right* channel is almost silent (the "volume" used is the default value
of 255 as set when VDR starts up). I would have expected it to be the
other way round.

Can anybody else confirm this observation?
Could this be a fault in the cable? Or is it an error on the DVB card
layout?
