Hmm, I tried all the PAL tuners in turn and it's none of them.  I tried
compiling the patched module as suggested on this list but it wouldn't,
so I'll just wait for 0.2.8.

Oh, so it is supposed to be able to get sound through the PCI slot? 
That is probably a stupid question, and you are probably wondering why I
have wired it up to my sound card in the first place.

No difference when specifying "card=3" (it is actually a 2100 not a 2000
but the 2100 is just a half-height version of the 2000 AFAIK).  Oh well
maybe 0.2.8 will work.

Thanks.
