My FlyVideo 3000 (from Alternate) works out of the box, this includes:
- picture quality is very good
- correct tuner (PAL as in the fixed entry in "saa7134-cards.c")
   Other Flyvideocards encoded their tuner type in GPIO (see bttv-0.7.91),
   so probably this could be autodetected, too.
   Gerd, it would be very helpful to printk GPIO input values on insmod.
- tv stereo
- radio
- Volume control (external active speakers)
- Mute/Unmute

Untested:
- Audio In
- Videotext

minor Problems:
- TV and radio can be started simultaneously and distort each other
- even when started sequentially tv sound doesn't work at first (switching
   channels or re-starting xawtv helps)
- tv sound doesn't work when switching from external video back to tv
   (same workaround as above)
- Brightness Pumping on some channels (about one time a second the picture
   slowly gets brighter and suddenly dark; then it starts anew)
   Gerd is there some "automatic brighness(/gain?) control in SAA7134 ?
- on insmod I get
   Mar 22 22:18:17 m3 kernel: saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom read error #1 rc=-5
- the entry concerning external video sources misses my CVideo and assumes
   CVideo on the SVideo connector (fine if you have an adapter). Patch follows.
- "radio" signal quality and mono/stereo indicator don't work
- What the heck is the hef4052bt on my card used for?

Regards, Gunther
