it doesnt.  Well the top layer does seem to (tv.c), but im writing my own
capture device driver (for us *BSD folks, that dont have the v4l drivers).  I
can capture full PAL resolution at 25fps to disk uncompressed.  I can do half
that if I compress into divx.  It works flawlessly.  Until I enable audio
capture, then things just go to hell, so Im tring to track it down.  (even if
I dont actually try and read any audio in my driver, and return immediatly, it
still fails, so it has to be something in tv.c or above going haywire with
ds_add_packet synchronization perhaps).  Im new to this code, so im still
working out how it all fits together.
