The All-in-Wonder cards are supported by the Gatos project, but I'm not sure if the Gatos TV programs work in FreeBSD. As far as support for this in XawTV, I doubt it. I'm pretty sure XawTV only supports bktr(4) and v4l(2). BTW, XawTV would be more useful with bktr(4) (would be able to use all the libavcodec formats available through libquicktime) if the bktr(4) driver would also output yuyv instead of just uyuv as it's 16 bit packed format. This is really easy to add to the driver, but it would break fxtv, because fxtv thinks it knows everything about bktr(4) and will refuse to start if bktr(4) reports a format it doesn't know. --
