I worked it out.  Define a second card using the defaults - v4l.  Mythtv 
will detect the composite and s-video.  In the channel editor, don't 
enter a channel number or channel id.

I think that's what I did.  Can't check it now 'cause I scrapped 
everything.

If you don't want the separate connection to line-in, Dick Smith or 
Tandy/Radio Shack should have something to convert A/V to composite.
