This is a tricky one - I think just use the audio section of V4l as
this appears as a alsa input and not using the video.

Pulse audio add a huge amount of flexibility but this also mean a lot
of additional complexity which most people don't use.

I think take a rest - I'll do some looking. The ALSA device is key but
PulseAudio emulate ALSA so things are quite what they seem and so posts
about with ALSA solutions have to be treated with caution.
