So I've been working on this lately and haven't gotten much farther.  I
put a whole ton of lines into my modprobe.conf without really affecting
anything.  One thing I learned is that with snd_bt87x, the alsa
recording of the tv sound works fine:

arecord -D hw:1,1 -f S16_LE -t wav test.wav

However, the sox recording of the dsp doesn't make any noise but a
slight hiss:

sox -w -r 32000 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp

So I think its a modprobe.conf issue or a snd_pcm_oss kind of issue. 
Basically if ALSA:1,1 works, but /dev/dsp1 doesn't, its probably an
ALSA-oss translation issue, right?

I changed modprobe.conf around and cut part into modprobe.d/tv.  For
some reason snd_bt87x module doesn't load on boot anymore.  I don't
understand modprobe or udev or how modules are loaded very well.  This
is my new modprobe.d/tv file:

alias char-major-81 bttv
options char-major-81 card=63 gbuffers=4 automute=0 tuner=2
alias tuner0 tuner

# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-1 snd-bt87x
options snd-card-1 index=1 load_all=1
# module options should go here

# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore

# card #1

# OSS/Free portion - card #1
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss

# OSS/Free portion - card #2 (cmipci)
alias sound-slot-1  snd-card-1
alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss

#alias sound-slot-1 snd-bt87x
#alias sound-service-1-0 snd-bt87x
