How is the tuner controlled? Is it a V4L insterface?
No, the tuner is controlled via Xserver Xv extension. No V4L interface is provided for tuner control.

What is different is that the device configuration (like setting the tuner or encoding) is done by Xserver.
All km does is check whether the card can supply a v4l stream and, if so, it provides it. This is little different from a webcam driver, especially if a webcam has its own on/off switch.
The misconception arises from the fact that many v4l programs were only made to work with bt848 cards - they would *not* work with webcams any more than they would work with km.
