You'r not mistaken. You'r just not reading the manual carefully enouthg.
Le't me quote "man mplayer" in the tv section:

                 immediatemode=<bool>
                      A value of 0 means capture and buffer audio
                      and  video together (default for MEncoder).
                      A value of 1 (default for MPlayer) means to
                      do  video capture only and let the audio go
                      through a loopback cable from the  TV  card
                      to the soundcard.
