Which is kinda weird, as my copy of qmake doesn't strip anything, ever.  Must 
be another patch that Debian's applied to Qt or somethin'.  

Anyone ever tried running this beastie in valgrind?  I've turned off all the 
MMX opts, moved Nvidia's libGL out of the way (it uses stuff valgrind doesn't 
support yet), etc, but can't manage to get live-tv mode to display anything.. 
Playing back a file works, though.  It's v--e--r--y s--l--o--w, of course, 
but that's fine for a little short debugging.
