Thanks! This is a great notice. After the alsa problems ("kernel: saa7133[0]
dsp access error") I've searched one card with this external connection!

Ok, I can return the card --one important detail when Linux users buy
hardware: «I can return it when "doesn't works in Linux" is the reason?» :)

There my ALSA installation:
------------------
$ dpkg -l "*alsa*" | grep ^i
ii alsa-base 1.0.11-2 ALSA driver configuration files
ii alsa-firmware-loaders 1.0.11-1 ALSA software loaders for specific
hardware
ii alsa-tools 1.0.11-1 Console based ALSA utilities for
specific ha
ii alsa-tools-gui 1.0.11-1 GUI based ALSA utilities for specific
hardwa
ii alsa-utils 1.0.11-4 ALSA utilities
ii alsamixergui 0.9.0rc2-1-9 graphical soundcard mixer for ALSA
soundcard
ii libsdl1.2debian-alsa 1.2.10-3 Simple DirectMedia Layer (with X11
and ALSA
------------------
Now I use one custom kernel (vanilla, from kernel.org)
------------------
$ uname -r
2.6.16.18-smp-bitassa
------------------
I was compiled this vanilla kernel --with no results-- just for the ALSA
problem with the Debian kernel (2.6.16-12 smp). Maybe is one ALSA problem?
You've seen some workaround about this?

Good notice :)

Is sufficient. I only would create Ogg Vorbis files at high compression
because are voice only --my weekly collaboration (one free software and
Internet advocacy space in http://www.cadenaser.com > Mallorca Island station
without Internet streaming)
I use the KRadio scheduling and Ogg Vorbis save functions.

Thanks for the review, Hermann!
(I've sent this message to video4linux-list too, I apologize because seems
that have people in the two lists. I'm new to this area, what is the
appropriate list to ask, speak and contribute experiences about those cards?)
