When input on bktr driver is changed, audio on some cards seem to be
reset. I'm not shure whether this is intentional or not as I didn't
threw my eyes on the driver itself yet. Anyway, a small change in
file drv0-bsd.c at function bsd_write_attr() helps:

      case ATTR_ID_INPUT:
         xioctl(h->fd,METEORSINPUT,&inputs_map[value]);
         xioctl(h->tfd, BT848_SAUDIO, &audio_map[2]);  // fix
         break;

First ioctl changes video input and does something undefined to the
audio channel. The second ioctl is my fix - I explicitly assign audio
channel. &audio_map[2] is for internal line, change this as
appropriate. I didn't want to invest more time into this because
what I really want is audio to work in mplayer.

Wow, great. I only need to fix the audio channel in bktr now...
