I've got a Soundblaster 32 and a Hauppauge WinTV at home. I'm using
xmradio (in the ports) to control the FM Tuner on the TV card,
which itself is connected to line-in of the soundcard.

I just had one (minor) problem recording to a file. But all sample
rates, mono/stereo, even piping to sox to convert it to WAV
in real time works like a charm (AMD K6/2-300, IDE disk, pcm).

The problem is a small driver bug which returns a wrong value while
sampling (which can be ignored). I send-pr it months ago, but it's
still not fixed (just had a look into 3.3-RELEASE, it's still
buggy there!)
