Ah, ok... I misunderstood you. I am capturing audio through a "regular"
audio card (using oss emulation over alsa).

In case I get a saa7134-based card, how can I setup the drivers to
capture both video and audio from the card, so that I can reproduce the
bug?

If the audio coming from the card is available through the OSS
interface, I think libavformat will associate timestamps to it based on
gettimeofday(), and ffmpeg will do the samplerate adjustments by
resampling the audio (if you specify the async option).
So, I suspect ffmpeg can work around this hw/driver's bug. But I am just
speculating ;-)

Does alsa provide timestamps? (BTW, what about explicit alsa support in
libavformat? No, I will not have time for working on it, but if someone
else steps in... ;-)
