[mythtv-users] ALSA Problem?

Well after you mentioned btaudio last I was wondering....is this module made
for dual outputs at well as Brooktree tuners?  I've got a K-World/V-Stream
tuner with Brooktree BT878 chipset.  Video works fine with a Phillips NTSC
card type...but I have yet to get audio working.  My plan is to use this
tuner as a second tuner (if I can get the SoB working!) and purchase a
PVR-250/350 for the main tuner that way I can record one station and watch
another...blah blah blah

I did an "insmod btaudio" last night and of course btaudio fired up, but I
don't know if there are any settings I need to change to try and get it
working this way instead.  Couldn't find much info on it...I'm on the prowl
for btaudio info right now  ;-)

Huh. I suppose that's possible, because you should definitely hear audio
from the card when live TV is active and you have your speakers hooked
directly to it... I haven't heard of any TV cards that allow their line out
to be muted, as there generally isn't any reason for that, so that's odd (or
there is such a thing, and I've never come across it)...
