Tom, I think the only difference is that I have a quattro and I am using the 4 s-video inputs. I think that most people with a Winnov card have a 4400 VO. Anyhow, with the quattro, there are actually 12 source options (either 8 BNC or 4 s-video if you split the s-video to 2 BNC inputs). I needed to choose 8,9,10,11 for source to get the s-video inputs. With a 4400 VO, you probably only have four source options and 0,1,2,3 works.
I definitely think this could result in a patch. I'd like to test a bit more when I am back from the holiday break and then I will email the results and the code that works.
