On Debian amd64 (pure64) sid, running 2.6.9-ac6 and Alsa CVS from 19 December 2004, this is working -- that is to say, tvtime and other tv apps work, xmms works, even networked sound works fine using alsaplayer-nas. But the mixer settings are tricky. I get sound from a TV card by plugging a short cable from the sound-out on the TV card to the line-in on the audigy2 value card. Alsamixergui need these components on and up for television and normal playback: * Master * PCM (for soundcard playback -- not used by TV) * Line (the first of the three Line components) * Analog Mix (the first of two for playback) * Analog Mix (the second of two for recording from TV) * Audigy Analog Output Jack (unmute) * EMU10K1 PCM (both, for playback) * Front IEC958 Optical Raw must be off (muted). To turn on the recording channel, you can also use amixer -c 0 cset numid=18 100%,100% unmute cap) I saved (alsactl store) and occasionally the card muted, when switching between recording and watching, or between different tv apps (xdtv, motv, xawtv); alsactl restore fixed it. It would be very useful if the mixer could by default be set with plausible values for a particular card; it took me a long time by nearly pure trial and error to find the channels I needed -- this is not very intuitive and sometimes downright peculiar.
