Looks like stv680 and videodev are missing from your lsmods
Both stv680 and videodev can be found in the extra modules misc-driver-modules.tgz

I putted the file misc-driver-modules.tgz in mydsl/modules directory and I see at dsl startup that the system loads that file, but then it is not working.
I looked in the directory /KNOPPIX/lib/modules/2.4.31/kernel/drivers
and I see that the modules were not added, so I uncompressed the
misc-driver-modules.tgz and manually copied the needed modules in the proper direrctories, then I runned
sudo update modules
Then I tryed again amsn but nothing, so I manually loaded the needed modules issuing the commands
sudo modprobe videodev
sudo modprobe stv680

tryed again amsn and this time it worked.
