Well, if a command does nothing, it shouldn't be there, or should be 
noted as doing nothing.

Well, "sounds like" is awfully presumptious. Did you try it?  It's in 
the same section for -tv as
adevice, driver, device, input, freq, etc., and I can use all of those 
no problem.
I set adevice=/dev/dsp::immediatemode=1:input=0:driver=v4l2:.... (the 
man page says boolean for
immediatemode). I just now checked and it doesn't work for mencoder 
either (I didn't need
it before for mencoder, since the default there is what I need).

So, if you can try it and get the immediatemode parameter to work, 
please send the
command line to me and I'll try it.
