It has an additional dongle with Composite, S-Video and stereo audio inputs. lsusb: Bus 002 Device 006: ID 2040:6502 Hauppauge WinTV HVR-900 I use it together with TVTime, pavucontrol and module-loopback and it generally works well (barring bug #1637817 which I reported earlier today), provided sound is plugged into the computer's line-in input. I'd really like to make it work with the tuner's input, however. When connected, it appears in pavucontrol and can be configured as Analog Stereo Input, and in Input Devices I can select Line In or Video. Selecting either makes no difference: most times there's no sound at all, sometimes sound appears, but it's distorted (a bit like an echo together with overdrive). I'll try to make it work (plugging/unplugging the tuner, restarting pulseaudio usually makes it work after a few times) and post a sample. Interestingly, the volume slider in Input Devices in pavucontrol has no effect at all; sound level remains constant.
