i guess that means i'm back to square one. it's pretty strange that noise gets more intense when 
there is more movement in the video (more dynamic scenes = much more noise). but that doesn't mean that when there is 
static screen displayed it works perfectly. it's more random than that.

i wonder whether mpeg encoder might be interfering with the audio signal (audio in mpeg stream is always perfectly 
clear). maybe i should try to disable it (by removing the firmware from /lib/firmware, or the module from the kernel) ?

i guess i'll have to check around the branches, maybe somebody has some interesting patches that didn't make it into 
main v4l-dvb tree yet.

anyway, thanks for your help.
