MintTv

A modified script (based on the earlier one for feisty) to sync audio with TvTime in Ubuntu 8.10 — I’m actually testing this on Linux Mint 6 which is based on 8.10. So for those of you out there with SAA7134 tuner chipsets, look closely at the sox line below. I’m using alsa rather than ossdsp this time, and once I got it working the volume was very faint so I also added the -v flag to adjust the volume of the input. BE CAREFUL with the -v flag… the number value is a FACTOR, not the actual volume level! 8 bumps up the volume quite a bit.
