On mainline 2.6.16, I get good sound using this, where $DEV is the 
number of the device node:

mencoder -tv 
driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video$DEV:fps=30000/1001:chanlist=us-bcast:\
audiorate=32000:alsa:adevice=hw.$DEV:input=0:amode=1:normid=4:width=576:height=432 
\
-ovc x264 -x264encopts 
threads=2:bitrate=500:bframes=2:subq=1:me=1:frameref=4:8x8dct \
-oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=64 -endpos $TIM -o $DIR/$FIL.avi tv:// > 
/dev/null

So the alsa device is simply called hw.1 -- not hw.1,0 or whatever. I used

   alsamixergui -c 1

to set recording to channel 1 first, and the volume to max, for each of 
the four cards.

I used this to load the saa7134 cards and the alsa module:

saa7134 card=2,2,2,2 tuner=43,43,43,43 video_nr=1,2,3,4 vbi_nr=1,2,3,4 
radio_nr=1,2,3,4 alsa=1,1,1,1

dmesg is happy:
