Package: vlc Version: 0.8.1.svn20050314-1 Severity: normal I tried to use v4l to stream my webcam content. Everything works but I cannot get any audio output even though the right /dev/dsp is specified. I then went through the source code and found something which IMO is logically not correct.
The v4l code would query the v4l device to see if there is audio device associated with it and if there is none, it would turn off audio input part. However, the webcam I have do have a USB mic input but it just isn't considered as part of the video capture device(this is understandable as the vendor just put two seperate pieces of thing together, pure reference design). At the moment, I just change the device driver (spca5xx) to report a audio channel(even though it doesn't applies to all devices) but I think it should be vlc(v4l) that needs to be changed to ignore this part of check and just take whatever given as adev and use it. mplayer is doing the right thing as it just take the vin,ain and combine them together, well it cannot do any streaming though. Whether the adev is reported in the v4l driver doesn't really matter. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.31-xbox-chimpanzee-vs-ll Locale: LANG=, LC_CTYPE= (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages vlc depends on: ii aalib1 1.4p5-22 ascii art library ii dbus-1 0.23.4-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii liba52-0.7.4 0.7.4-1 Library for decoding ATSC A/52 str ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdvbpsi3 0.1.4-2 library for MPEG TS and DVB PSI ta ii libdvdnav4 0.1.9-3 The DVD navigation library ii libdvdread3 0.9.4-5 Simple foundation for reading DVDs ii libflac6 1.1.1-5 Free Lossless Audio Codec - runtim ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.4 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libfribidi0 0.10.4-6 Free Implementation of the Unicode ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-13 GCC support library ii libgcrypt11 1.2.0-11.1 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgnutls11 1.0.16-13.1 GNU TLS library - runtime library ii libgpg-error0 1.0-1 library for common error values an ii libhal0 0.4.7-3sarge1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libid3tag0 0.15.1b-4.1 ID3 tag reading library from the M ii liblircclient0 0.7.1pre2-2 LIRC client library ii libmad0 0.15.1b-1.1 MPEG audio decoder library ii libmodplug0 1:0.7-4 shared libraries for mod music bas ii libmpeg2-4 0.4.0b-2 MPEG1 and MPEG2 video decoder libr ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libogg0 1.1.2-1 Ogg Bitstream Library ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtar 1.2.11-2 C library for manipulating tar arc ii libtheora0 0.0.0.alpha4-1.1 The Theora Video Compression Codec ii libvorbis0a 1.1.0-1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libvorbisenc2 1.1.0-1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxml2 2.6.16-7 GNOME XML library ii libxosd2 2.2.14-1.1 X On-Screen Display library - runt ii libxv1 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System video extension li ii slang1 1.4.9dbs-8 The S-Lang programming library - r ii ttf-freefont 20031008-1.1 Freefont Serif, Sans and Mono True ii wxvlc 0.8.1.svn20050314-1 wxWindows frontend for VLC ii xlibmesa-gl [libgl1] 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 Mesa 3D graphics library [XFree86] ii xlibmesa-glu [libglu 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 Mesa OpenGL utility library [XFree ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
