OK, I'll accept that the ALSA drivers report DSP_CAP_DUPLEX based on
the file open mode.  The OSS drivers don't do it this way, AFAICT.

Still, this doesn't address two issues.

First, mythtv behaves differently when watching live TV than it does
when watching a recorded program when it, or another program, is being
recorded.  Perhaps mythtv should attempt the open without blocking so
an error message could be printed out instead of just hanging.

Second, since mythtv now supports capture cards that don't need an
audio device for input, it should probably allow for no audio device
to be configured.  If this was the case, the problematic open wouldn't
even be attempted.
