You're right. It doesn't. 

The problem was that my box was starting XFree at boot time, but instead of 
running Xfree86 4.0.3, it was running Xfree86 3.3.6, so nothing could really 
work.

I managed to write a new XFfree86config, and now everything works, except the 
sound.

I've noticed there's a module named tvaudio, but it's reported unused by 
lsmod.

Any ideas?
