Below is a shell script I wrote to watch tvtime with synchronized audio on SAA7133 / SAA7134 chipsets and linux distros that don’t take care of it automatically. As of this writing, I’m still using Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty awaiting the Intrepid release in a matter of days; unfortunately, feisty had not included support for tv hardware so syncing audio with a little help from sox was necessary.

wait $t
killall -9 sox;
exit 0;
