btw-  Once you get it working, can you do me a favor and let me know how the
audio to video sync works for you.  50% of my recordings are fine.  Another
40% are off by ~100mS.   10% are way off, like 500-800mS.  Seems to be worse
on PBS.   I am thinking it is the card since I haven't been able to find
anyone else that complains about this type of an A/V sync problem.
