Well,  using 'lshw', I have a:

description: Motherboard
       product: A7V8X-X
       vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC.
       physical id: 0
       version: REV 1.xx
       serial: xxxxxxxxxxx

that I'm going to work on audio and video (xawtv video is working) in the 
next few days/weeks/whatever. Look at the differences and see if our audio
a/v chips are the same or similar. If the are close enough, I'm willing 
to share the painful process with others......... I be using other video
cards, like the LMLBT44 (uses a BT878 chip), in this system, but the efforts may
be similar enough to warrant collaboration?

If so, start a new thread, and away we go...
Disclaimer, I'm not very smart, just stubborn as hell
(I do not quite, until things work. I also have an 
old_lady that's pretty sharp with firmware and device drivers,
so If it comes down to a driver that needs modification, that's
a doable as long as there is something similar to look at
and somebody that can architect what needs to be done, and 
how the drivers works...pain....ass(embler)-pain....
Lot's of problems in 2.6.x with devices are related to driver code
that needs tweaking......
