5. XawTV and all the tools for V4L (Video4Linux TV cards Drivers) that are bundled with. There if a solution for this entry, and it is to add XdTV (that is an updated version of XawTV) to the universe repository. But it will not append ... (The bug entry for package required is here for more than 3 years and no packages showed up)
> SOLUTION: re-enable it in the official kernel, blacklist its modules by default.
Yeah that's a good and simple idea, a dkms module or a module package can be really easier to end user.
And why not just re-enable it by default ? because this module can cause "troubles" only if we install some OSS only apps and we want to use it at the same time of another sound application ... And OSS only apps are very specific ... As I see, the only persons that are really touch be this problem is "Linux gamers" and "TV card Users"
