Oops.  I expected at least that version works as there the original
code was not touched yet.  That 0.7.x is broken is a known problem,
but I expected the breakage happened while porting it to the new i2c
code.

Looks like someone with such a card should have a deep look at this...
Anyone knows a bttv version where it _really_ worked ?

looks like it isn't, which in turn probably is the reason why the card
doesn't work.

Yes, old bttv versions have a lot of flaws like this one.  For
capture with mmap() it does'nt matter as the video_mmap.format
field is used.
