I still haven't got this working myself. Just set the oss=1 insmod option, maybe also dsp_nr + mixer_nr to give the dsp and mixer device allocated by the driver fixed minor numbers and avoid them being shuffeled around depending on the load order of saa7134 + sound card driver. > 2 - Get the LIRC related GPIO patches included. lirc dependency is a problem for in-kernel drivers, because lirc isn't included within the standard kernel. Not sure yet how to handle that. Maybe the best way is to drop lirc subsystem altogether and use the polished 2.6 input layer instead, i.e. register the IR remote as keyboard device and either use it directly or let lircd read from /dev/input/<something> instead of /dev/lirc.

As long as you don't touch the audio mode and leave it in "auto" mode it will permanently monitor the available signal and try use stereo, lang1 or mono (in that order) depending on what the tv station sends out.
