mencoder sound quality - TV recording

I watch TV on a capture card using either the TVtime GUI or the
following from the CLI: 
mplayer tv:// -tv
driver=v4l2:norm=PAL:input=2:amode=1:width=720:height=576:outfmt=yv12:device=/dev/video0


To record from the same card I use mencoder. My problem is that the
audio quality of the recording is not great - hard to describe the
problem but the sound is just not "clean" - sort of an echo. I've
tried many different combinations of options. Here's the best I've
been able to record (but still not great):

mencoder tv:// -tv
driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:norm=PAL:input=2:width=720:height=576:audiorate=48000:outfmt=yv12:alsa=1:adevice=hw.1
-oac copy -ovc lavc -noskip  -vf scale=720:576 -o /tmp/tst.avi


2 "strange" added bits of info.
- part of the mplayer output to the terminal is "Audio: no sound", but
  there *IS* good quality sound. 
- the mencoder command *DOES* output good sound during the recording
  process, but the audio in the recorded file is not great. 

Here's part of the terminal output from mencoder - I suspect it's
related to my problem.

audiocodec: framecopy (format=1 chans=2 rate=48000 bits=16 B/s=192000
sample-4) Forcing audio preload to 0, max pts correction to 0.
