Ok,
I've tried to tune analog tv with tvtime-scanner and all the channels 
have been tuned corretly.
However, even if I use the following command to redirect the audio from 
the device to the audio card:
sox -r 48000 -t alsa hw:1,0 -t alsa default &
no audio is present when I start tv time and sox exits with the output 
as in the attached file.
If it is possible to fix this, this device can be added to the fully 
supported ones.
