Doug,
No doubt Constant will provide more information in due course, but FWIW so far as I can see there is no ability in xawtv to tune the sound frequency separately from the picture carrier. There is the usual ability to fine-tune what I will call the overall frequency (-128 or +127), and that can affect the quality of sound, but I am not aware of anything else.
There is a choice from 16 frequency tables, including various cable options and the europe-west that I use. There is also a choice from several TV-norm settings, including the various PALs NTSC and SECAM.
The config file is in simple form. I am including mine below.
Dear Doug, dear Geof, If the sound carrier in the USA is always 4,5 mHz from the picture carrier and in Europe it is different, than xawtv must have some information as to where the sound should be as you are able to make a choice between USA Europe, Australia and many others. So I had the hope that the distance between the two could be adjusted manually ;-(. By the way, in what mHz reach I would find UHF-H because I am still missing two stations in my silent TV ;-).
