It's not the radio chip.  
bktr0: <BrookTree 878> mem 0xf43fe000-0xf43fefff irq 11 at device 10.0 on pci2
pci2: <unknown card> (vendor=0x109e, dev=0x0878) at 10.1 irq 11

This card does not have a PCI radio chip.  The TV tuner can be put into FM
mode.  (TV audio is transmitted as FM, and the FM band is right in the middle
of the VHF TV band).

I actually looked at the Bt878 specs.  pci function 0 is the digital video
busmaster interface.  pci function 1 is the digital audio busmaster
interface.  It appears that we can have the audio subsystem send the data
via busmastering as well as via the line out plug.

Cheers,
-Peter
