forget mencoder, it's for conversion. you need mplayer, it can output to dvb
card, using realtime mpeg1 I-only codec and LPCM audio.

btw yesterday i replaced fmpeg by mp1e in my local tree. i've got some
speedup, but when playing with lpcm audio, i get both sound and video
corruption. :(
i've seen such with ffmpeg, but adjusting a-v delay at muxer it solved. but
it doesn't work now :(

Implement audio grab from /dev/dsp to TV demuxer
