Hrm... These issues aren't in MythTV, but might keep someone else here from
beating
his head on the wall. Only one that is relevant to Myth is #3.
I finally got around to trying the BTAudio module on my card (Avermedia
TVStudio98),
but found quite a few things that were disappointing:
1. I could only get the analog portion to work; the Digital one resulted
in no sound
(Bummer. Analog is Mono-Only) It was clean iff I used a 48KHz
sample rate.
2. There was a noticeable (~1 second, constant) time delay (video before
sound).
3. BTAudio is a OSS-Style device - can Myth use it?
Do you think it would be worthwhile if I try to make a patch that uses
either the OSS drivers or the ALSA drivers?

Failing that, I looked over at the Alsa project. Evidently, they have some
issues
(the devel list says they're fixed) with recording on the i810. Attempting
to
record line-in on my pc results in a file of 0-samples :(.
But I am getting closer... (now to ask the Alsa list & maybe get a usb audio
port).
