I've upgraded my system and I got a couple of problems: I applied the Kraxel patches in a 2.6.7 kernel for using the 0.2.12 version of the saa7134 driver. I have a MPEX with no tuner card (card=18 parameter).
Now my video is muted and it contains no sound packets (though audio stream is listed in the PMT). I tried to turn off the mute control, but the video kept soundless. Brightness, contrast, hue, etc controls worked as expected. The weird thing is I thought this had worked since my first trial was an apparent success, I could hear sound in the video stream since I shutdown the machine. The next time I boot the system the card was muted (as expected) but "unmuting" it not longer worked. This was with the 2.11 version in an unpatched kernel, after a lot of trials I decided to have a stab at compiling the latest version, but it didn't work. I suppose I'm doing some dumb thing, but I'm totally dazed now :(. Is there anybody with such a card and such a driver version working as expected? The other problem is the transport stream I get is not correct, the coninuity_counter field skips values from time to time for the video stream (I can't know if this is true for the audio stream yet). Thanks for your time. -- Samuel
