Hi,

don't know, if that can be me, but you  are sitting somehow on a patch
only
a few mails away. It is from Gunther for saa7134-0.2.7 and may
eventually help you. Somewhat back in the list you find something about
different tuner types and audio on FV2K, what you can see then in
saa7134-cards.c and the patch.

CD-in works for my md9717, use a recent xawtv, if in doubt on
frequencies compare with tvtime.

regards,
-Hermann

Read the man page, all is possible ;-) and there is a patch somewhat
back for the saa7134 ... have not yet tested.
