Hi David,

The saa7160 chipset is supported by the saa716x driver.
I wrote a driver for it, which is over here.
http://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/manu/saa716x_new.git

I do have the A188 card and documentation also with me,
thanks to Avermedia.

The card is not yet supported in the above tree, so cloning
that tree will not help much in your case. Though I have
some code related to that, it is only on my local testbox

I've been with an accident and my other hand is in a restrictive
state with minimal movements. It will be a few weeks, before
I can do something in this area. It's not much help to you at
this point right now, but just fyi

Manu
