I have same tv dongle on ACER ASPIRE ONE and I got it work in this mode:

1. compiled and installed the hg version of em28xx-new driver (doh! i needed to 
install kernel sources and compiler on 8GB SSD :( )
2. compiled and installed modified tvtime (doh! other developement pakages to 
install ... :( :( )
3. DELETED 
/lib/modules/$KERNEL_VERSION/empia/{em28xx-audioep.ko,em28xx-audio.ko}

4. before starting tvtime, i load em28xx-aad module:
        modprobe em28xx-aad.ko && tvtime -d /dev/video1


Question:
if i have the dongle connected at the boot kernel detect it as /dev/video0 ; otherwise video0 is the uvcvideo webcam... is there a way to force a fixed name or to discover WHAT device is a device?

The only way I get sound is if I load the driver before plugging

mplayer more than once. If the driver was not loaded before
plugging the device no number of application restarts will produce
sound.

I did some more testing:

If I plug the device without modules loaded so driver loads (which
leads to no sound) then unload modules, then load modules again - all
with the device plugged - I will still not get sound.

If I load modules without device plugged, then plug device (in which
case the sound works) unload the modules, load the modules again -
all with the device plugged, I continue to get working sound.

Any time I write "working sound" I always have to stop and restart
tvtime/mplayer at least one time but usually two times. This also
holds true after unloading and reloading the driver.

For "no sound" cases I've tried restarting tvtime 15 times.

dmesg output is attached from when modules are loaded automatically
on device plug, and from when modules are loaded before device is
plugged. Including diff.
