Sound on SAA7134 TV-Card though main soundboard?

Hi.

I have a SAA7134 TV-Card and I'd like to get the sound that comes from the radio tuner or TV though my on-board soundboard, because otherwise I have to unplug the speakers jack and plug into the TV-Card output. I think this should be something possible to achieve because of the saa7134-alsa module, however I haven't figure out a way to do it after some time searching. So I come to you guys, maybe you can give me a hand.

I'm under a Debian Sid system. Kernel version is 3.0.0-1-686-pae.
These are the modules related to the TV-Card:

Code:

lsmod | grep saa
saa7134_alsa           17407  4 
snd_pcm                53315  4 saa7134_alsa,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss

videodev               61530  5 tuner,saa7134,v4l2_common
tveeprom               16473  1 saa7134
i2c_core               19141  13 dme1737,tuner_simple,tea5767,tuner,saa7134,v4l2_common,videodev,tveeprom,i2c_i801,i915,drm_kms_helper,drm,i2c_algo_bit

I'd also like to know if there's a way to capture from the radio, but that's another question for another thread.

Thanks, regards.

On my card I had to use a male-to-male cable to connect the output of the card to the sound card's line-in. There was no other way to get audio from mine, not sure if all are the same though.

Yep, I've done that too. I thought there was a way to send the data to the soundboard...
