OSS, ALSA, tv tuner problems persist :(

["Michael Bonert" <sparcc@gmx.net>]

Addendum to:

I'm a big leap ahead.  I had a silly problem related to the volume (it was near zero).  

The fix is:
# apt-get install aumix

$ aumix
The TV tuner volume is influenced by the "CD" volume setting.  


Currently, I have a feedback problem. I wonder whether OSS and ALSA are fighting the background.  Any case, I have to do some more experimentation.  The feedback goes away if I disable the KDE sound system.  That said, I have the sneaky suspicion it might be a driver bug.  I have a vague memory of the tv tuner not always playing nice. Several years ago, when I used it under Windows it created problems.  If I remember correctly, it also caused some problems in Debian at one point.
