I have this weird problem. I used to use two SoundBlaster awe64 using
driver snd-ens1371 for recording tv. I used one for recording and
another so I could play audio and games while recording, since the 1371
doesn't support full duplex. (And besides, the D/A on the output isn't
very good... )
I changed it for a single Soundblaster Live! which seems to work
perfectly for both recording and watching live tv etc. However with
longer recordings, it seems to accumulated an audio delay which wasn't
present before with the ens1371.. this happens even if I dont use the
computer for anything else during the recording and my mencoder process
uses between 50-60 and shows no signs of framedrops.

Has anybody else observed this problem? do I really have to ditch my
Live! card?
I'll try using alsa for input, but this hasn't been successfull in the
past..



I use a similar setup, but with a emu 10k2 and I do not observe the same problem. What driver do you use? ALSA or OSS. I use ALSA which was buggy when I started but is stable now. What might be different with my freevo box is that I use suspend to RAM and I unload/reload the emu10k module upon suspend/resume.

My box is always on, and I use 10k1 since its an older Live! Value edition. I assume 10k2 is audigy or extigy?
I use oss. I haven't investigated alsa since I got confused the first time, however with your recommendation I'll give it another go. Can you possibly recommend som options for mencoder?
for now I use: adevice=/dev/dsp0:audiorate=44100:buffersize=64
using oss emulation and alsa drivers.
