MythTV upgrades

Last night I upgraded the kernel and all of the related drivers on the mythtv box.  Updating IVTV from the 0.4 series to 0.7 series broke things with the tuners, because they were renamed from Tuner 0 to Tuner 1.  In the mythbackend logs, the error was related in the ChannelBase category.  It was a weird error because it could still read from /dev/video0, but it couldn’t set the channel.
I deleted the tuner, added the new one as Tuner 1, and restarted mythbackend.  Worked fine after that.

There is still a weird problem with the audio, where it doesn’t work the first time the frontend is started, but it works every time after that.  Must be an ALSA issue.
