This annoys me too. It has been decided to stop support for alsa OSS-emulation 
from within the kernel without offering a viable alternative for exactly this 
application.

As an unsatisfying work around you can change the sound-volume with e.g. 
alsamixer (from alsa-utils). Therein you can tune the volume of 'line' or 'cd', 
depending where you connected the sound-output of your tv-card but changing 
sound volume from within tvtime is broken!
The best way to solve this is one adds direct alsa-support to tvtime. Until 
that happens, I hope the ubuntu devs and sound engineers will reconsider their 
decision to completely terminate alsa-oss emulation since OSSp 
(thought/intended as successor) does not (yet) work for this kind of 
hardware-constalation.
