Well, finally got it fully working with kaffeine-dvb from the kaxtv 
site, I have to kill artsd to get sound, the kde setup doesn't seem to 
work though "lsof /dev/dsp" says it's not in use. Added cx88-dvb to 
/etc/modprobe.preload and all modules load from boot.

The blurb for this card mentions digital radio, but nothing about how 
to. Has anyone got any ideas on that feature?
