Here's a note-to-myself I found in my xmms sources:
We were using the aalsa (note 2 'a's) plugin into kernel 2.4.14. This
broke with kernel 2.4.15-greased-turkey. The alsa (note 1 'a') plugin
only works with alsa 0.9, which appears to be a devel release.

Try "modprobe bttv". If you have a precompiled stock kernel (eg redhat)
chances are the module is already there. Otherwise, you'll have to
