Thanks for the update. I haven't seen these problems you're talking 
about. Did they also happen with the old drivers as well? I may be weary 
of upgrading to the new ones if they have new problems. How does analog 
work in the new drivers?

On LinuxTV.org they also claim that in the 2.6.26 kernel there should be 
full support for these finally. I'm not sure how that's going to work 
out, or if it's going to come from Markus or v4l's own mainline module. 
In the latest cvs of v4l-dvb from the mainline v4l tree, I found digital 
recording worked fine but analog had no sound.
