Hello Thomas,
There is another open source driver implementing the audio and video

/dev/video isn't needed. Mplayer for example has the switch -vo mpegpes,
which uses the DVB API for playback. For the "full featured" cards this
means that the TV-output is used.
However, in case you've been looking for it, there is no standard API
for using a digital video encoder or an A/V switch, to configure PAL vs.
NTSC, RGB vs. CVBS or SCART outputs etc.
The CVS tree mentioned above uses a custom interface for it (in
driver/avs and driver/saa7126).

Andreas
Thanks again,
