Ok, I did the final checks:

I included the modified ivtv-cards.c and ivtv-cards.h in my otherwise
unmodified kernel 2.6.25.3 sources, compiled, created the modules and
installed them.

After a poweroff and reboot the card was correctly detected
automatically. Also, no irregularities in the dmesg output.

Then, I checked the 3 inputs:

* Composite is working (color), including audio from the separate input
plug.
* S-Video is working (color), including audio from the separate input plug.
* The tuner is working (color) (PAL), including audo from the tuner
signal. I had no possibility yet to check NTSC from the tuner, but will
do so in a few weeks in Japan. I'll let you know then.

This is the difference to the original ivtv-cards.c file, which I
received from Hans:

One more thing:
The card, i.e. the MPEG II encoder chip on the card, is getting quite
hot, so that I can barely touch it. Like all the other chips, the chip
has no heatsink. In your experience, is it normal that the encoder chip
gets so hot?

Thank you very much for your help getting this card to run!

Regards,
Peter
