Why should it support btaudio ? The sound stream is embedded in the MPEG 
stream coming out of the card so there is no need for an extra audio 
device. Just plug the card in, install the ivtv drivers and off you go. 
Just adjust the sound parameters of the ivtv modules to the correct 
standard (NTSC/PAL sound system)

The quality is a major improvement over the bttv cards, furthermore 
since the card is doing the encoding stuff already, your CPU can lean 
back or do other important stuff.

There is only one way to find out.. Try :-) If you don't get any sound 
through btaudio (remember the btaudio device has a mixer which needs to 
be setup too!) then it doesn't support btaudio and you have to make a 
connection between 'audio out' from the TV card to the 'line in' (NOT 
mic!) of your (onboard) sound card.
