Ok, before I didn't have access to the machine.  Now I do.  Here is more =
information.  I don't think this is a sound problem.  There are illegal =
instructions in both of these cases.

When I try to watch tv, I get a /dev/dsp busy error, then a Illegal =
Instruction.

When I try to watch a pre-recorded, I get:

Changing from None to WatchingPreRecorded
Invalid seektable
audio device cannot report buffer state accurately,
audio/video sync will be bad, continuing anyway
Using XV port 51
Illegal instruction

It sounds like this makes it past the audio problems anyway....  then =
terminates for another reason.  I have strace output in both cases if =
anyone is interested.

Most people would just throw another audio card in the box, but I'm too =
lazy/poor/fill-in-the-blank.  I have an extra card 1000 miles from here =
that I'll pick up over x-mas if this isn't resolved by the :)

  I just installed MythTV.

  RH 8
  Tuner: WinTV-GO
  Sound: AD1816A

  I can use xawtv to watch TV on my tuner just fine with sound.  Whenver =
I try to watch TV with MythTV or watch a recorded movie (it seemed to =
record something... at least I can see the preview), I get an error =
similar to:

  /dev/dsp busy
  error opening audio
  illegal instruction

  Sorry, I don't have the full details of the message.  I had it in =
another message that got rejected from the server, and I don't have =
access to the computer with MythTV right now.

  Has anyone seen this before?  Is this just my crappy audio card =
(built-in HP Kayak card)?  Any ideas?
