Run "arecord -l" to see a list of recording devices. There will be two PCM devices (0 and 1) on card 1. "hw:1.0" is the digital input connected to the TV tuner. You will be able to record 16-bit stereo data at 32 kHz if the card is configured correctly. "hw:1,1" is the analog input. You will be able to record 16-bit or 8-bit mono data at the following sample rates: 119467, 128000, 137846, 149333, 162909, 179200, 199111, 224000, 256000, 298667, 358400, 448000. You can configure analog volume and source by running a mixer for card 1 (e.g., "alsamixer -c 1"). > I have a little cable from the TV card to the SB-Live line-in.

It would be possible to record from the Bt878 card and immediately play the data on your sound card (something like "cat /dev/dsp1 > /dev/dsp0"), but you'd get underruns after some time because the clocks of the two cards aren't synchronized.
