V4L/DVB (10827): Add support for GeoVision GV-800(S)
I have a GeoVision GV-800(S) card, it has 4 CONEXANT BT878A chips.
It has 16 video inputs and 4 audio inputs, and it is almost identical
to the GV-800, as seen on http://bttv-gallery.de .
The only difference appears to be the analog mux, it has a CD22M3494
in place of the MT8816AP. The card has a blue PCB, as seen in this
picture: http://www.gsbr.com.br/imagem/kits/GeoVision%20GV%20800.jpg .
This card wasn't originally supported, and it was detected as
UNKNOWN/GENERIC. The video inputs weren't working, so I tried
"forcing" a few cards like the GeoVision GV-600, but there was still
no video. So I made a patch to support this card, based on the Kodicom
4400r.
The GV-800(S) is identified as follows:

As you can see, the GV-800(S) card is almost identical to the GV-800
on bttv-gallery, so this patch might also work for that card. If not,
only a few changes should be required on the gv800s_write() function.
After this patch, the video inputs work correctly on linux 2.6.24 and
2.6.27 using the software 'motion'. The input order may seem a little
odd, but it's the order the original software/driver uses, and I decided
to keep that order to get the most out of the card.
I tried to get the audio working with the snd-bt87x module, but I only
get noise from every audio input, even after selecting a different mux
with alsamixer. Also, after trying to play sound from those sources, I
randomly get a RISC error about an invalid RISC opcode, and then that
output stops working. I also can't change the sampling rate when
recording. Any pointers to adding audio support are welcome.
