saa7134 TV Tuner card audio problems

[Noel Smith <grandgarson2001 (at) yahoo.com>]

I hope this isn't a duplicate message.  I just got a
MAILER_DAEMON email after I tried to send before.

I'm hoping someone can help me.  I'm new to Linux and
am trying to get a settop box with MythTV working. 
I'm running Fedora Core 4 with kernel
2.6.15-1.1833_FC4.  My problem is that I have a fairly
generic Philips TV tuner card and I can't get the
audio to work.  I've been searching the web for
solutions, and thought I fixed it at one point cause I
got audio (so I know it's possible with this
hardware), the problem was that I had been changing
things trying to get it to work for hours and the
command: modprobe saa7134 i2c_scan=1, that I thought
fixed it apparently wasn't what fixed it, so once I
reboot the machine I was back to square one.  So far
I've solved the problem of what card and tuner it is
card=34 tuner=9, but I think the problem is with
saa7134-alsa.ko.  I've tried modprobing saa7134-alsa
and the responce I get is:

FATAL: Error inserting saa7134_alsa
(/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.1833_FC4/kernel/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134-alsa.ko):
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see
dmesg)

when I use dmesg I see:

saa7134_alsa: disagrees about version of symbol
snd_pcm_new
saa7134_alsa: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_new
saa7134_alsa: disagrees about version of symbol

snd_pcm_hw_constraint_integer
saa7134_alsa: disagrees about version of symbol
snd_pcm_period_elapsed
saa7134_alsa: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_period_elapsed


I've found some sites showing ways of using the PCI
bus to get audio, but they say to use the option
dsp_nr= and when I use that option with modprobe
saa7134 I get an error, so it appears that is no
longer supported.  I'm really not concerned about how
it works (PCI bus or audio cable from tuner card to
sound card) just so long as I can get it to work. 
I've tried hooking up my headphones to the audio out
on the tv tuner card and I get no audio, so I'm
assuming it's a problem with how I'm setting up the
saa7134 or saa7134-alsa module.  Also, this is what I
have in my modprobe.conf file:

alias eth0 e100
alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0
>/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r
--ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
alias char-major-81 saa7134
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 saa7134
options saa7134 card=34 tuner=9

again, I'm new to Linux, so I really don't know what
all these do, except for the last line, which I added
so I didn't have to use modprobe each time I reboot.

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Noel Smith
