-	~~::FOR ANY REPORTS ON THIS PLEASE MENTION THE TV NORM YOU ARE USING.~~
-	~~:* Most tuner chips do provide mono sound, which may or may not be useable depending on the board design. With the Hauppauge cards it works, so there is mono sound available as fallback.~~
-	:* audio data dma (i.e. recording without loopback cable to the sound card) is supported since 2.6.16 (CONFIG_VIDEO_CX88_ALSA). It only works with boards with function 01 enabled. To check if your board supports it, issue lspci -n. If supported, you should see a 14f1:8801 or 14f1:8811 PCI device.
