I have the same card as well. I just can't for the life of me figure out 
how to get its audio going in NetBSD.

Before I get to the point of capturing audio/video, I'll need to have a 
working version of fxtv or something similar. As of now I can watch but 
not listen. The lineout you're describing: is it the physical lineout 
that you're just passing a 1/16" jack through to the sound card or are 
you talking about doing this with software? (multimedia function 1)

It's just not clear how this is supposed to work. Is fxtv (or whichever 
software package) supposed to see my soundcard, read from the audio 
segment of bktr0 and the write to /dev/audio all by itself or do I have 
to do some plumbing?
