I've already wiped the machine and attempted to downgrade to an i386 
setup. (now I'm stuck trying to get 4x SATA drives recognized through a 
promise RAID controller... ugh) However, I do remember that it HAD to be 
a problem with ffmpeg/v4l2 since no audio was coming out of the video 
card. Usually I run an audio cable from the TV capture card into the 
line-in of a sound device. When that didn't work, I plugged my 
headphones directly into the card itself. Nothing there. When I used an 
unpatched ffmpeg version, the audio was fine -- both directly out of the 
bttv card and through the sound device.

Sorry, don't have config.h, the output or the -d 5 output. If I 
re-install FC5 and try again, I'll be sure to post it.
