Well, I've certainly posted that to this list.

It will work fine, since the btaudio.o module makes the sound from the 
TV card available as an OSS device at /dev/dsp just in the same way a 
soundcard would.

The trick is that relatively few TV cards support this function - you 
need to have a TEAxxxx chip (it supports a few others - just 'modprobe 
btaudio' and look at the 'dmesg' output to see them) on the board... 

Cheers,
Gavin.
