Yes, it's a known fact by now. Nobody asks you to put a cable where
you *cannot* put a cable. ;-) The remaining problem, however, is that
there must be a theory about how your tv card "produces" audio then?

I suspect that there is a device in /dev that you read to get the
sound, and pass it to the sound hardware. Maybe more then one if the
card produces both analog and digital sound output, and/or has an FM
tuner.

That is commonly the case, and I have been told that the only common application able to do the digital is mythtv (that was FC9 info, may no longer be the case). I highly commend trying vlc first, it is less complex to get working than mythtv. Yes, damned by faint praise.
