Each card encodes exactly one analog source. Either by composite or
S-video input. In our demobox we are running two cards, tomorrow we have
three cards. You have /dev/video0, /dev/video1 /dev/video2 ...
If you need a transport stream you need a software which multiplexes
your streams.

You need the tar.gz and the windows drivers for Win9x as mentioned in
the README. You can download the Win9x drivers at Visiontech's
FTP-Server. 
We run the Kfir boards on Linux 2.4.0test-something.
