This is because the raw demuxer does not detect DV streams by content 
but by extension only. And since live feeds have no ".dv" at the end, 
it will not try to open them. But you can work around that by 
explicitly asking for a demuxer like that:

xine -p /dev/ieee1394/dv/host0/NTSC/in#demux:rawdv
