It is not only Audio carrier selection:
SECAM-L is the only standard with positive modulation of the vision carrier.
The tuner needs to know this. So in the case of SECAM-L, we need the *exact*
standard.
The insmod option secam=l transfers the exact standard to the tuner.
By the way: I just noticed this: If saa713x does not identify the color system
(improperly forced), tvtime will say "no signal"
