I don't know if this any help, but I've had similar problems on Fedora Core 2,
where my webcam was grabbing /dev/video0, and the TV tuner card wasn't being
loaded at all. On other distros the TV tuner card has /dev/video0, and the
webcam /dev/video1.
My fix on FC2 was to add a few lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, as below.
/sbin/modprobe -r ov511
/sbin/modprobe tda9887 port2=0 pal=I
/sbin/modprobe bttv tuner=38 automute=0
#install bttv /sbin/modprobe tda9887 port2=0 pal=I; /sbin/modprobe
--ignore-install bttv
/sbin/modprobe ov511 force-palette=15
The above, first removed the webcam driver that was using /dev/video0, then
loaded the driver for the TV tuner card (bttv), which now had /dev/video/0,
then reloaded the webcam driver (ov511) , which now had /dev/video1, and it
all works.
Perhaps this will work for you on Debian. The file is in /etc/init.d/rc.local.
There is a lot of script in this file compared to the on in Fedora Core 2,
but it probably works the same.
I'd just try adding the following lines in this file and see how it goes.
modprobe -r snd-cs46xx
modprobe snd-cs4231
If what happens on FC2 is anything to go by, this should unload snd-cs46xx,
and then load snd-cs4231.
I hope this works for you.
Nigel.
