Mp4live you still have to unmute with v4lctl

I wrote a simple (ugly/quick) channelchanger program in C to
handle changing the frequency without v4lctl.
It can easily be modified to add the IOCTL for mute
as well.

There's also one for Python as well.
Installing xawtv just to use v4lctl seems silly.

P.S. the saa7134 is now working fine for me after
a year of frustration.

Hi Bill,

thanks. I'm still in userland. To use a non well working driver for a
year seems silly to me. Why may I have done it for 9 months now too :)

Well, it wasn't "using it full time", it was checking on it now and then to see if things
were better. Someone noted a recent fix on several problems I had, and the big issue
was that the saa7134 provided reliable on-board audio, so now I'm happy.
