bktr msp34 help

[Paul Boehmer]

I recently received a STB PCI TV card (from an old Gatway PC) from a buddy
due to lack of XP drivers and was delighted to find that the video capture
works using the bktr driver.  The only problem is that I cannot get audio
output, no whitenoise, nothing.

I did a search on the multimedia list and found the following link to a
new MSP34XXXX driver ported from linux - http://people.freebsd.org/~alex,
but the dmesg output is different in that the patched/unpatched kernel is
the dmesg output line that writes:

bktr0: msp3400: error while reading chip version

Now the question.... How do I get the device to bind to the driver?  I
posted messages on the multimedia list, and got some ideas, but no luck.
Is this something I need to email the bktr driver maintainer about?

I can supply additional information if needed.


Below is some system info:

Relevant PCI Conf (pciconf -lv):
--------------------------------------
bktr0 at pci0:10:0:        class=0x040000 card=0x263610b4 chip=0x036e109e

    device   = 'Bt878 MediaStream Controller'

    subclass = video

    vendor   = 'Brooktree Corporation'
    device   = 'Bt878 Video Capture (Audio Section)'

Partial dmesg list (with bktr.stable.patch applied):

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance
