It isn't tuned in.  I get this when I fire up xawtv until I choose a
channel.

I haven't got one, but if you have a kernel source handy then there is some
documentation in that on the correct options for this module.  Also do a
scan of the archives for this list it was discussed extensively recently.

I am experimenting with an RME Digi96/8 PAD audio card.  I have a few
problems with recording at the moment, however, the sound quality is awesome
(comparable with my £2,000 CD player)

Just about anything should be OK.  I hear that M-Audio do a £99 Revolution
card which is only slightly worse than the card above, and certainly blows
away an Audigy.  Probably the drivers aren't as good as the Audigy 2
though...
