I decided to see if xfce was doing something funny.  So, I installed
gnome and tried mythtv.  Still, no sound.

$  fuser -v /dev/snd/controlC0

                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0:  pvoris     9680 F.... mixer_applet2

I also tried setting it for OSS - which gnome seems equally capable of
using.  Still no dice.


The only info my system's giving me is in /var/log/messages:

Jul 23 11:08:18 hermes wis-sony-tuner: tuning to frequency 55.2500 (VHF_L)
Jul 23 11:09:04 hermes go7007: unsupported ioctl -1069263306


*sigh*
