Hm.  Okay, so maybe I'm confused, but I need a soundcard each for each BT8x8 
capture card, right ?  So either both those soundcards need to be able to do 
full-duplex (otherwise live TV and playback will have no sound) OR one must 
have the possibility within mythtv to declare one card capable of recording 
and playback, and the other capable of _only_ recording. (And mythtv reacting 
accordingly...)  Is this assumption correct so far ?
Note that I'm _not_ talking about PVR250 cards, but about BT8x8 cards.

So I really think this is not an option.  Example: a recording on card_1 
starts at time T. At time T+10 you select "watch TV", but the only free card 
card_2 cannot playback sound simultaneous with recording. So that won't work, 
ie. you get no sound then.  Isn't that correct ?

So back to the original question: Can anyone confirm or deny that the onboard 
sound AC97 function of the VIA KT400 chipset can handle full-duplex or not ?
