Here you go....big Sourceforge patch on kfir.c
Note that you load bttv (not btaudio, kfir won't
load properly with btaudio loaded), try to
load kfir, which fails - a good thing, unload bttv and reload
it. And then load btaudio if you care.
If loading kfir fails immediately, it didn't
take - if it takes 2 seconds or so to fail,
it successfully initialized the kfir chip.
dmesg will give you output.
