I have the same problem with the overdriven sound actually.  I switched from OSS to 
ALSA last night, but now I have no sound.  (I'm hoping I just haven't found the right 
channel yet.)  Anyway, I've read that the one of the alsa channels supposedly will 
correct for the sound from a bt848 tv card.  When (if) I find it I'll post the info 
for you.
