I built an vdr plugin to use the mpex card (tuner version) for analog 
recording. Last usage of this card is about two or three month ago.

Now - I want to release my plugin source - I tested it with the latest 
kernel 2.4.26 and the latest v4l2-patch an I get no audio packets, grrrr....

tscap from Andrew also only captures video, no audio.

Therefore I need some help:

Can somebody test this card with kernel 2.4.26? Maybe my card is broken.

Has somebody the kraxel-v4l2-patch for kernel 2.4.23? This was my last 
known working configuration


thanks in advance
