Argh, not the buzzing noise! Have you tried the very latest drivers snapshot 
from bytesex.org? Recently I've only been getting the buzzing if it loses 
video feed - my last patch sorts that out.

The card will never operate in ES mode - although the saa6752hs chip supports 
it, it is missing the essential glue logic on the board to make it work.
