Thanks Axel.

Unfortunately, alsa and video4linux kernel modules don't seem to be  
happy together on my system (ALSA won't load consistently). I had to  
do it the "hard way" and compile the drivers from source. In doing  
so, I did find out that v4l drivers don't like to compile on odd  
numbered kernels - you have to remove a few line in the dvb_net.c  
file to make it happy.

Thanks again.
