If you want to add support check out the http://linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/cx23885-audio/ add look at the recent changes.  This will give you an idea of what is required.

Marek, Mauro has sent me your email details directly. I replied to with 
some detailed instructions which you never replied to. I then received 
your second email asking for information, which I replied to again.

You obviously didn't see either email. I asked Mauro to forward my 
emails to you directly, thinking that perhaps your ISP blacklisted my ISP.

You never got any of these emails?

- Steve
