- The chip specs for the on-chip TV sound decoder are next
|

to useless :-/
|
||||
- Neverless the builtin TV sound decoder starts working now,
|
||||
at least for some standards.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
- Works. The TV standard detection is made by the driver, as the
|
||||
hardware has bugs to auto-detect.
|
||||
- audio data dma (i.e. recording without loopback cable to the
|
||||
sound card) is supported via cx88-alsa.
|
||||
|
||||
vbi
|
||||
- Code present. Works for NTSC closed caption. PAL and other
|
||||
TV norms may or may not work.
|
||||
- Works.

If your card is listed as "board: UNKNOWN/GENERIC" it is unknown to

(1) Try upgrading to the latest snapshot, maybe it has been added
