Arch Linux

Description:

The current Arch Linux kernel is missing the IVTV firmwares found here: http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware/ivtv-firmware.tar.gz

This causes the system to not be able to load the ivtv driver, which breaks sound for people with TV tuners!

The "patch" is to download that file and extract its contents to /lib/firmware.

Below is an example log.

When alsa tries to load something weird happens to it because ivtv is not there, and many sound issues emerge. This bug totally kills pulseaudio, which I installed afterwards.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

* Have a Hauppauge PVR-150
* Use Arch and Alsa and kernel Linux desktop 3.7.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jan 21 23:05:29 CET 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux
