Tony, before giving up I'd say let's look into your xorg.conf first. There's a lot we could do regarding the stalling ATI drivers.
For sound - that's a total different issue. I assume you already plugged WinTV's audio out into your sound card's line in ;-) Then we should check what sound card you're using, ALSA config and so forth. Let's strangle that beast!
