> Any work on integrating it with one of the many PVR programs out there?

No, though it shouldn't require a lot of work.  Currently I use a homegrown
VCR program built out of PHP and C.  For playback I use mplayer or WinDVD.

That is the normal operating mode for the card.  The API documentation
indicates raw audio and video capture is possible.  However this of
course requires more bandwidth, increases the risk of frame drops,
and risks audio / video sychronization problems.
