Having a hard time getting mplayer to capture sound from TV tuner
Hello all. I finally decided to buy a TV tuner (a Leadtek Winfast TV 2000 XP Deluxe, if it matters) to do some occasional video capturing, and right now almost everything is working. I've got video working just fine, but I'm having a little trouble with sound.
I compiled the bttv audio module, and it modprobes without error, but I'm having a hard time trying to get MPlayer to 'listen' to it.
Code:
electrode@tetrahedron:~$ mplayer -tv driver=v4l:norm=ntsc:channel=3:amode=1:adevice=/dev/dsp1:width=704:height=480:chanlist=us-cable tv://

Card reports an unknown audio mode !
Trying two channel audio. Use forcechan to override.
Audio mode setup warning!
Requested mode was stereo, but v4l still reports unknown.
You may need "forcechan" option to force stereo/mono audio recording.

/dev/dsp1 is indicated by dmesg as the btaudio-powered sound device. I have also tried with dsp2, no dice.
Code:
btaudio: driver version 0.7 loaded [digital+analog]
btaudio: Bt878 (rev 17) at 02:04.1, irq: 16, latency: 32, mmio: 0xf2101000
btaudio: using card config "default"
btaudio: registered device dsp1 [digital]
btaudio: registered device dsp2 [analog]
btaudio: registered device mixer1
Now, when I connect a cable between the audio-out jack on the TV card and the audio-in jack on the sound card, I can hear it just fine. The reason I'm not just accepting that is that I haven't the slightest idea how to capture audio along with video that way, whereas if mplayer was taking in audio and video this way (using the btaudio device), it would be easy. Also there's the matter of quality degredation that can not be avoided when using cables, so even if I DID know how to capture it, it wouldn't sound as good. :)
Anyone care to offer advice? Thanks in advance! |
