IIRC, from other chatter I've seen on this topic, the gatos driver enables
video overlay, so you can use, say, xawtv with the AIW, but does not enable
an interface to capture the video stream in software, which is what Myth
needs to do.  Not sure if I'm correct, but I do know that this question has
been asked to death.  It just can't be done without more work from the gatos
folks and/or help from ATI.
