Ravi,
Please test the latest patch at
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~awalls/ivtv
it adds a secondary set of user controls for manipulating the WM8739
audio controls via v4l2-ctl. You will see controls named
"secondary_volume", "secondary_mute", etc.
Hans,
If these control settings are usable for Ravi, can you please comment on
the patch. It was the simplest way I could think of to effect the
change in a very generic way, that should work for any ivtv card. But
looking at it, I get the sense it could possibly be improved.

I don't have any thought on this at the moment. Life got busy recently.
