Mute logic fails on cards using v4l1-compat

Description
Cards that use v4l1-compat for v4l1 support (eg. saa7134) do not set VIDEO_VC_MUTE in VIDIOGCHAN.
As a result, the mute logic in NuppelVideoRecorder?.cpp will never pass. The fix would seem to be to test VIDIOGCAUDIO directly.
See: http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2004-January/027927.html and tvtime sourcecode.
Please find attached patch to change muting logic.
Thanks!

(In [11376]) Fixes #2238. Workaround for Linux kernel bug in v4l-compat.
The problem is that the Linux kernel doesn't properly report the presence or absence of audio capture hardware when using v4l-compat. But if you try to get the volume level and mute status it will return it if audio hardware is present. So the workaround is fairly simple, we just check the volume first and use the sometimes flaky flag to decide whether a failure should be reported as an error or a warning. If the kernel says there is audio hardware we report an error when the audio get fails, otherwise you need to run with "-v audio" to see the error message (since this will fail normally with most frame-grabbers).
