It's hard to say exactly where little tidbits should go.  Certainly a 
little note on the M179 page about quality compared to the PVR-250 would 
be appropriate as well as perhaps a similar statement on the PVR-250 
page about it's difference over an M179.  There is also a general 
purpose Video Capture Cards page where this comment could also go.

As for the alsa problem, it depends on many factors.  Was it specific to 
a particular audio card?  A particular version of alsa?  With so many 
variables, a single page of alsa information is hard to put together.
