I have an "Asus TV FM Card," and the OSS capture has worked almost perfectly  
for me.  32kHz stereo, good quality.  I've had intermittent problems where 
the audio gets weird, like it's playing a little too short of a buffer, but 
this may be a MythTV on AMD64 problem, and I've had the problem with other 
saa7134 cards.

Here's the secret to getting sound to work: fire up aumix on the card's mixer, 
and fiddle with the volumes.  I added this to my /etc/conf.d/local.start:

aumix -d /dev/mixer2 -1 R

Without this, you just get silence.  I dunno if this has been fixed, if it 
were, I wouldn't know.
