I would have taken a bttv based one instead, but as there is none... I would probably advise against using a cx23885 based design for analog under Linux right now. There is *some* analog support in the driver, but it is not very mature and has a host of issues/bugs. Also, there is currently no analog audio support in the driver, so if you do not have an encoder then it will not work. In other words, even if all you did need was to add another PCI ID, you would still be very likely to run into problems. We (KernelLabs) have a handful of patches that can eventually get into the upstream driver, although right now progress is slow on that front and you certainly shouldn't buy hardware based on the expectation that the patches are forthcoming.
