Thanks for the quick reply. It seems /dev/video devices are still
created for the digital cards. I currently have two working cards:

[   12.317141] Linux video capture interface: v2.00
[   12.559484] saa7146_vv: saa7146 (0): registered device video0 [v4l2]
[   12.969262] saa7146_vv: saa7146 (1): registered device video1 [v4l2]

AFAIK digital videocard still use /dev/video to get the (digital)
stream. 

I just tried with a very recent kernel 2.6.38 rc6, unfortunately with
the same result.
