In my myth box I have 3 tv cards, a Winfast 2000XP (bttv), a FlyVideo3000 (saa7134), and a PVR150 (ivtv).

When I look at the output from dmeg I can see that the bttv driver creates video0, and the saa7134 driver creates video1, but the ivtv doesn't list the device it creates. I can guess that it is video2 and confirm it easily enough, but shouldn't the OS be able to tell me somehow?

Also I was trying to get the PCI Audio in from the saa7134 card by following these instructions.
I assume the ALSA version is the way to go but it only lists the following info in dmesg:

(Cut and pasted from the above url not my own system, but it was pretty similar.)

When I set the audio capture device for /dev/video1 in mythtv-setup what should I use?

I am obviously am missing something here, but what?

OK I have found some info the regarding the alsa devices. Apparently I should be using something like "ALSA:hw:0,0" or ALSA:default instead of /dev/dspX. However the question still stands, how do I determine what to use?

The info I found was from http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/m ... sers/89755

More research.
I think what I need to do is use the "arecord -l" command to list the capture devices created by alsa.
$ arecord -l (showing the devices created by saa7134-alsa in kernel
2.6.16):
It will show something like this:


In the above example it shows that the Saa7134 alsa capture device is card1 device0, so in Mythtvsetup you would use "ALSA:hw:1,0".
