[plug] 5.1 Sound card + tv out card

[John Knight]

Hmmm..... sound card wise, I'm not sure. I dunno if a SB Live!'s 5.1 works 
under *nix. As for the drive and players etc, I found that under mplayer, we 
could just fire up a region 2 DVD with no worries! Great for pommy sitcoms!

At the moment, the most popular cards about are the geforce range, you can 
have the closed source drivers from nVidia's website, they aren't too hard 
to install, but you do have to be careful. They are..... kinda unstable 
though, when they work properly, they REALLY work though! ;)
