Broadcast2000 ? yes of course. It is supposed to do mjpeg avis.

I tried yesterday their binary release, but it crashes as soon as I try
to start capturing. I'll try to recompile it tomorrow...

As for the sblive, I agree, it is maybe not the best choice in terms
of stability of the drivers... 
We'll see for the sb128 (aint got one right now) but I'd like 
to get sp-dif out of it, seems it is possible, anybody got it to work?

then what about the 48KHz audio streams?

what other decently priced cards that do spdif in/out, 48KHz and linux?
