I have the same problem. I usually use mencoder to record some tv shows. After
upgrading to kernel 2.6.15 (fedora 4) recorded videos have no sound. Even I am
unable to hear sound while recording.

I am using a prebuilt binary from latest stable version, i.e.
mplayer-1.0-51_pre7try2.rhfc4.at

This is part of my script:

mencoder -tv
driver=v4l2:width=320:height=240:device=/dev/video0:norm=ntsc:adevice=
/dev/audio1:freq="$channel" -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=800 -ofps
29.9 -oac mp3lame -o
"$nameb" tv://


and this is part of the output:

TV detected! ;-)
