Why did pick irqpoll? Was there something in the past that was hanging on your

Well, that one is the worry some one. It reads as if it can't get the
interrupts fast enough, which would be worrysome.
I think I need to look at the code itself to get a better understanding
of where that 'irq aud ..' is.
Are there cheap versions of these DVB cards? I've only Hauppage PV-150 which
works for me, but that is not a DVB type card.
