[mythtv] pcHDTV advice

[John Freer]

Jarod,

Thanks for the response.  One other quick question on a similar note.

Any particular reason why axel wouldn't have included the btaudio
driver module with the kernel?  All the other atrpms kernels I've
installed had it available to modprobe.  This one doesn't seem to.

I'm setting up on kernel 2.6.7-1.456_4.rhfc2.at...

Any particular reason that you could think of?

JF
