Hmm, indeed. I didn't actually read the ebuild before. I did:

   $ equery uses tvtime

and there's no alsa USE flag. Also, emerging tvtime with the flag 
enabled and then disabled, results in no changes. The flag is being 
ignored here?

Anyway, note that I cannot test whether the patches actually work at 
runtime or not. My TV card uses an SAA7130 chip with no internal audio 
cabality. Instead, it has a line-out jack, which I connect to the 
line-in of my sound card in order to get sound from it.
