me adding snd_card_create to the Ubuntu sources (headers to be precise)
obviously means it wasn't present before and Ubuntus kernel was compiled
with that code missing, thus "no symbol_version" error message then!

I now opted for disabling the call to snd_card_new and letting v4l s
snd_card_create return -NOEMEM or so.

Now I get "saa7134 ALSA driver for DMA sound loaded" message in dmesg
but I have no sound in tvtime and neither aplay -L nor aplay -l list a
tv-card related sound device and I don't find any audio0 or sound0
device in /dev/.

Is NEED_SND_CARD_CREATE needed for my tv card? It was defined and the
~_new couldn't be found on loading the module, but would it have been
used? If not (or if), is there a way to get (still) sound in tvtime (or
mplayer)? My card is AVerMedia Cardbus TV/Radio (E506R) correctly
autodetected (if I can trust packaging and labelling of my card ;-)) :-)
(it's a hybrid dvb-t / analog device. Yes, dvb-t works, but the channel
I'm interested in occasionally has signal troubles (I'm at a triangle
vertex of the covered area)).

Thank you very much!

B&KR
