Both were mono until I booted into WinXP and back. Then the PVR-150 was 
stereo. I'll have to do a complete power-off test to verify that the 
PVR-150 goes back to mono, and then boot WinXP and back to Linux to make 
sure the sequence repeats the enabling of PVR-150 stereo. I'll try this 
later today.
