The ivtv driver doesn't need btaudio.  The output from the device is an
MPEG audio/video stream which contains both audio and video as you might
expect.  

How were you capturing data from the card and how were you playing it back?

BTW, http://67.18.1.101/~ckennedy/ivtv/ivtv-0.1.10-pre2-ck114h.tgz is the latest
version of the ivtv driver.  You may consider trying that or something
else from that site if you have issues with whichever version you are
currently using.

Also, you might have wanted to include version information next time you
report a problem.
