[MPlayer-users] no sound when encoding from v4l - tv-card

Hello,
maybe there is somebody out there who uses mencoder to record TV-shows from
a v4l-TV-card. I have the following problem when trying this:

if i use mencoder with the following command-line:
mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=16000     -oac mp3lame
-lameopts cbr:br=64     -vop pp=lb,crop=700:430:13:65 -o output.avi -tv
on:driver=v4l:width=720:height=576:forceaudio:adevice=/dev/dsp -v

the resulting output.avi does not contain an audio-stream (according to
mplayers output when playing it).
Audio-out of the TV-card is connected to line-in of the soundcard.
I use "v4lctl volume mute off" to unmute the - TV-card - so i can hear the
TV-sound.
I use tkmixer to enable "capture" for line-in.

How can i record a TV-show with sound using mencoder? - what am i missing?

The stdout+stderr of the mencoder-run mentioned above - follows below

Thank you very much - Bye Holger B.
