It's hard to say exactly where little tidbits should go. Certainly a
little note on the M179 page about quality compared to the PVR-250 would
be appropriate as well as perhaps a similar statement on the PVR-250
page about it's difference over an M179. There is also a general
purpose Video Capture Cards page where this comment could also go.
As for the alsa problem, it depends on many factors. Was it specific to
a particular audio card? A particular version of alsa? With so many
variables, a single page of alsa information is hard to put together.
