Hi again: I still haven't heard any sound from the analog side of this 
card.  Since I last wrote there have been several sound-system updates 
in fc10 and I have complicated matters by adding another apparently 
quite similar capture card by Avermedia - more details below.  This went 
smoothly on the dvb side but probably doesn't help diagnosis.

I don't want to send lots of dmesg stuff but  'dmseg | grep saa' looks 
as if it might shed some light on things:

That was after a reboot. Then, as root, I did 'modprobe -r saa7134-alsa' 
and 'modprobe saa7134-alsa'.  This added 3 lines to dmesg:

> saa7134 ALSA driver for DMA sound loaded
> saa7133[0]/alsa: saa7133[0] at 0x92005000 irq 21 registered as card -1
> saa7133[1]/alsa: saa7133[1] at 0x92004800 irq 22 registered as card -1

which looks as if something ( as well as me) is confused, but with the 
prior modprobe -r the following modprobe shows no error.

In addition KDE keeps popping up this window:

> KDE detected that one or more internal sound devices were removed.
> Do you want KDE to permanently forget about these devices?
> This is the list of devices KDE thinks can be removed:
> Capture: saa7133[0] (SAA7134 PCM)
> Capture: saa7133[1] (SAA7134 PCM)

As before, I get good pictures from mplayer and tvtime, antenna and 
composite, but the diagnostics say 'no sound'.  The only sign I have 
seen that something might be there is in the level meter of the one of 
the two PulseAudio input devices labelled 'SAA7134 - SAA7134 PCM'.

The other PulseAudio input device is called  'HDA Intel DTAC92xx 
Analog'.  If unmuted it just produces whitish noise.

In the KDE (now 4.2) System > System Settings > Multimedia > Audio 
Output > Music window the Output Devices shown are Pulse Audio, HDA 
Intel (STAC92xx Analog), Default, Pulse Audio Sound Server, and HDA 
Intel (STAC92xx Digital).  All except the last now play for the 'Test' 
button. I don't have digital audio hardware.

Finally, another sample from dmesg, this time with no grepping.  The 
'ALSA sound' stuff is new.

==================

Any suggestions appreciated. It's not clear to me which bits of the 
system are broken but it would be nice to get it working!
