[luau] Dazzle in Linux

[whenever]

Yes, those two cards has RCA for NTSC input, I don't know much about WinTV 
card, looks like WinTV card have to go to a process of RF demodulation where 
your video have to RF modulated to channel 3/4 for it's input.  Here's the 
different of the two, using NTSC input: NTSC = 0-4.5Mhz @ 1 volt peek to 
peek, you need an audio card for audio capturing. RF card, don't know if it 
still need to use the audio card, but with the extra stages, noise might be 
added during the modulation(Video used AM and Audio used FM) and demodulation 
process.  In another term, either you have the video out and audio out of 
your VCR connected directly to the TV, much cleaner signal, or connected with 
RF cable using channel 3 on your TV to watch the video from your VCR.  
Make your pick.
