Nope, v4l2 only.

Now this is driving me crazy, you're number I-don't-know-how-much that's
asking this. Really, cheap TV cards cost EUR50 or so, even less
second-hand. Developping applications and driver that can switch channel
on  card at such a rate while maintaining quality takes days, weeks, and
at EUR50/hour (even cheap programmers cost money), that'd mean that
developping these applications is a *lot* more expensive than just
buying a second TV card for your second cam, or even 4 cards, or 10, or
100.

Why are people doing this?
