+1 on this. I have a iMac DVD G3 edition with a USB EyeTV unit and an All-in-Wonder remote. I just works. It's setup in the kitchen for TV and iTunes music and DVD video playing. Very cheap solution and the form factor aesthetics do not annoy my wife. :)

Ardour is great for recording your own music (in place of Garage Band) on a G3, but it doesn't really have that much to do with mass media. It requires a little tweaking as far as getting it to recognizing your microphone, and you need Jack along with it, for what its worth.
