Answering my own question for future reference: the GRABBY video
capture card by TERRATEC worked out of the box on CentOS 6.

It is very small, connects via USB and offers S-Video input + standard
audio R/L and video input.
It cost around 40 EUR in a consumer shop (Saturn) in the "digitalize
your old VHS video etc." section.

lsusb output:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0ccd:0096 TerraTec Electronic GmbH

Input can be visualized using VLC (from RPMForge) and Video4Linux 2
capture device.

Cheers,

Mathieu
