Creative Videoblaster under Linux

I have a first generation creative labs videoblaster card (the one that doesnt work in machines with 16MB RAM or more)  Anyway, is there any software to run this card under Linux? Since i have a machine with 12MB RAM doing nothing but handle my modems?

and bthe "suggest you write your won driver" thanks for your faith in my (non existant) coding skills!! :=)
the driver for the original Video Blaster can be obtained from :

ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/video/vid_src-0.7.tar.gz

however, you need to compile the src code yourself.
The above package include driver & X application (sample) capable of displaying & grabing video.
