Sorry, but all these messages are not from the DVB driver. 
Which application is producing them and under which circumstances???

Do you have sample code which produces streams with artifacts and
sound problems?

H/V selection is identical in the NOVA and "full" cards (if they use
the same tuner). 
Are you certain it is the H/V switching or could it be a DiSEqC
problem? (DiSEqC switching is done differently on NOVA cards).
