I'm currently running two SAA7134 (Flyvideo 3000) cards in my Myth
machine and essentially they work fine using the
http://bytesex.org/saa7134 drivers. I had to mod the driver so the
volume was hardcoded and I also had to make sure the mute toggle wasn't
ever used. I don't know whether this was Myth not talking to the driver
correctly or the driver itself, but it works for me. Picture was always
fine for me.

Channel changes _are_ noisy though since the muting stuff is disabled.
However since I don't watch live TV much these days, I live with it.

I'm working on getting DVB to work now, so I haven't really bother to
fix the SAA7134 drivers.
