In my experience, *any* capture card that has a "video in" (Composite or 
SVideo) has an associated line-in for audio. Specific examples that work 
with Linux/Myth are older Hauppauge WinTV GO cards (before they switched 
away from a bt878-compatible chipset) and low-end AverTV cards (purchased 
locally around March 2003). For more examples, search the list archives for 
the DRAFT Capture-Card FAQ I posted here a couple of weeks ago.

What capture card are you using that does *not* have this input?
