lirc, dvb, bttv, emu401k, modules.conf, spdif

[MK <amk@befree.ch>]

Hi,

I have been trying to configure rationally the loading and unloading of the
drivers in the correct order. I have a bt878, lirc with the hauppauge control,
the dvb, and a sblive card.

sound:
-I'm still bugged with emu401k problems (current releases do not play wav
audio).  So I resorted to using the alsa drivers, but the very latest release
of xawtv does include an audio module that does not like alsa at all.
So I'm back to the oss drivers, still no wav playing. has anyone solved that?

spdif:
I set up a cable between the dvb spdif & ground pins and the sblive spdif in #0
(it is of the "oem 1024" sort). no damn audio going that way, though. Any tricks
to enable this in the driver(s)? Anybody got it working?

dvb:
-All my attempts as getting the dvb drivers autoloading through conf.modules
instead of "make insmod" have been inconclusive: the drivers somehow load but
aren't functional.  -> ???

anyway, this is my current conf.modules. I'd appreciate feedback especially if
someone's got full loading of the dvb drivers this way:
