Sometimes I like to record video clips, complete with sound. I have a Philips-based Webcam and a Creative SB X-Fi on 64-bit Ubuntu. The following does the job:
mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l:width=320:height=240:device=/dev/video0:forceaudio:adevice=/dev/dsp -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=64:mode=3 -o webcam3.avi VLC, however, is much nicer to use, and I did in fact use it with different sound hardware in the past. Now, however, when a stream is opened, there is a loud rushing noise, even if a sound device is not selected. If anyone has insight into this problem, I would be interested.
