I suggest you build a new kernel with just the following DVB options set
CONFIG_DVB=y
CONFIG_DVB_CORE=m

When you boot up the new kernel in runlevel 3, use the snapshot from 
dl.bytesex.org/cvs-snapshots/video4linux-20050403-221421.tar.gz, make, 
make install, depmod -ae, reboot and you should be fine. I have only 
been able to get kaffeine to work with this card, with kaffeine, you can 
scan and see all the channels, then select each one you need and "Add 
Selected". In the video4linux directory, I had to set all the options in 
Make.config to =m to get all the modules built.

Xawtv tells me it can't display the video stream, 
/dev/dvb/adapter0/video0 never gets created by udev, creating it from 
the command line doesn't help either, someone recently posted either to 
this list or the linuxtv list that no video adapter is associated with 
this card.
Perhaps artsd is grabbing /dev/dsp, "lsof /dev/dsp" will tell you what 
is using it, if it's artsd, you can use the KDE Control Center to have 
artsd timeout after, say 5 seconds idle.

Working great here on Mandrake 10.1 with a 2.6.11.7 kernel, first got it 
going on 2.6.10. The standard kernels don't seem to have the dvb-pll 
module, but they all seem to be there in the -mm kernels, I must try 
2.6.12-rc2-mm3 later and see if that works both with DVB and Nvidia 
video driver 7167.
