This has also been around in late 2.3 kernels, maybe even much longer.
(bttv didn't work for me over quite long periods of time, so I didn't
bother looking.)

Another minor problem is that the bttv mixer is registered before the
mixer of the sound card, which confuses programs expecting the (only)
mixer to be at /dev/mixer which by default is (14,0). Work-around:

# cd /dev
# rm mixer
# mknod mixer0 c 14 0
# mknod mixer1 c 14 1
# chmod 600 mixer[01]
# ln -s mixer1 mixer

Didn't check what devfs does with all this.
