Howdy - I have the same card running on drivers checked out from here:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mkrufky/blackbird/
built against a 2.6.23 kernel, with mythtv source from SVN at rev 14704

I was able to get the card to play nice as an MPEG2 encoder card (everything 
working for ONE computer with ONE tuner card,) by following the patch at the 
bottom of this post.

BIG FAT WARNING this was the first time I've mucked with mythv sources so I 
have no idea what this might break. I just wanted live TV to work and I was 
getting frustrated that mplayer would play video from my card, but mythtv 
would not.

Good luck, YMMV.
Andrew
