If this setup works like a local mythtv system it may be because
something else is using /dev/dsp. Check it with fuser /dev/dsp and if a
process id is printed, stop that process.

I now have it recording and doing live TV. It's a little jerky
(approx .5 sec pause every 3-4 secs) but is workable. That might be
because it's wifi from the backend to the WAP and wifi from the WAP
to the frontend, so I might put the backend on Cat5 and see if that
improves things.
However, I've got no sound, and this might be about the dumbest
question to ask, but do I have to connect the sound output on the
capture card to the sound on the mobo somewhere (it has integrated
sound). The capture card is a plain analogue card (Phillips
saa7134). I was expecting the sound to be picked up over the PCI bus.
