saa7134 TV Tuner card audio problems

Noel,

in this mailinglist there is a thread starting 27.2.6 concerning saa7134 and 
sound.

What works for me (Kanotix, kernel 2.6.15-1, laptop with medion 7134 TV 
capture capture card):

as root in a console:
# modprobe saa7134 oss=1
# modprobe saa7134-oss

as user in a console:
$ sox -t ossdsp -r 8000 -b -c 2  /dev/dsp2 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp

from the desktop: when I now start e.g. tvtime I have sound, however with some 
delay, so I am still continuing experimenting,

regards,

Jack
