a lot.

you need the audio part of the card turned on, the module i use is 'msp3400'.
so try 'modprobe msp3400'. if your card uses another form of sound chip then
of course this won't work. looks like at least in the current bttv source
the only sound drivers are msp3400 and tvaudio.

probably because the card either doesn't support overlay or your not in
overlay mode
but in 'capture'(i think?) mode. check cpu usage if its really high (more then
say 5%) then most likely thats the reason. some video cards dont support
overlay.
my p200 with the TNT does and xawtv's cpu usage is 0.0%(running 640x480 16bit
fullscreen).
