I have one of these too. I have successfully used XawTV, Zapping and
mplayer to watch TV. I have my audio passing through a CD cable too but
into my AUX plug on the SoundBlaster Live board. I don't have a volume
problem and I have not tried recording at all either.
I have just gotten this and have not really gotten it working fully.
For instance, how would I connect a VCR or DVD player to it? I have
tried using a coax and viewing on channel 4 like I did on TV and I have
also tried the Svideo input (well, with an RCA to SVIDEO adapter). I
can't seem to get any real picture. I know to set the standard to NTSC,
but beyond that I am confused. Actually, I am not sure what docs to
look at, the v4l docs?
