I did a little digging into the v4l2-ctl options and
came up with the following that works for me, in
limited testing:

v4l2-ctl -d 1 --set-audio-input=2
v4l2-ctl -d 1 --set-audio-input=1

The "1" corresponds to /dev/video1 and the audio input
#1 is what is really used, and #2 is not connected to
anything.  Switching to a non-connected source and
then back to the connected source seems to solve the
problem.

What I ended up doing is calling the first v4l2-ctl
command, then calling directv.pl, and then calling the
second v4l2-ctl command.  Essentially, disable the
audio, change the channel, enable the audio.  In very
limited testing, I have not been able to get the
"tinny" sound again.  I've got these three commands in
a script that I have set up as the channel changer.
