There are, to my knowledge, no *good* references on this topic. I'd love to 
be corrected on this, though, if I am wrong.

Use of btaudio was discussed at length on this list a few months ago, so 
you might find it worthwhile to do a search. I *thought* some of the info 
from that discussion had been extracted for addition to the MythTV HowTo 
(to be exact, I thought I had sent Robert some revisions that incorporated 
it), but I may be misremembering (or he may have decided not to use my 
submission for reasons I forget right now). So you might want to look at 
the subsection on vidcap cards in the Hardware section of the HowTo.

The database of configurations that gets mentioned here all the time is 
another place to look for user-level feedback on what cards do and do not 
use btaudio. Though I do not recognize yours, it may be listed there with 
some info.

As a general matter, though, btaudio supports relatively few cards. The 
normal way to record sound (in Windows as well as Linux) is via a patch 
cable to the sound card.
