The saa7134 driver is the right driver for the saa7133 as far as I know.
Video works afterall. =)

I'm not really an expert on the subject (I haven't gotten mine to work
afterall) but I believe the saa7130-saa7135 are all variants of much the
same chip from Philips. I've forgotten some of the key differences, other
than the saa7133 is stereo, so my real basic take is the saa7133 and saa7134
are about the same but you get better audio with the saa7133 (if it worked
=)).

I've probably spent about a dozen hours on trying to get this to work
properly, but much of it was pretty undirected and spent double checking
that my sound was not in fact working and I had the speaker wires plugged in
incorrectly. I'm certain that isn't the problem now, and the last thing I
tried was digging through the 0.2.7 code to mess with the audio code but
there was too many magic numbers in there for me to really get anywhere.

I've uploaded a picture of my card here:
http://www.members.shaw.ca/davemw/FV3K.JPG. I don't expect that to really
help, but at least you can compare if we do in fact have similar cards
without external audio chips to complicate things. I'll start playing around
in more depth tomorrow and see where I get.
