so, looked it up. in mpegrecorder.cpp:

1. find "// only 48kHz". i commented the code about the audio_rate
out. audio_rate should be 1.
2. a page down, a ioctl-call is made:
    if (ioctl(chanfd, VIDIOC_S_CTRL, &ctrl) < 0)
    {
        cerr << "Error setting codec params\n";
        perror("VIDIOC_S_CTRL:");
        return false;
    }

i commented it out, since the pvrxxx port does not support this v4l2-ioctl yet.
