Is this the pvr-350?

How well does the pvr-350 work with Linux? If you install it do you need 
to have a separate sound card or is included on the card?

Sorry if these are really lame questions... I'm just starting my attempt 
at putting a Linux based PRV together... If you send me links to docs 
I'll promise to RTFM. I have a really nice low-profile 650Mhz machine 
w/a DVD drive that I'm going to try to put MythTV on...

Thanks!
