Hello to all,
I'm using a USB DVB-T dongle to connect a Playstation system to my laptop,
It's a WinTV HVR 900 (Empia) by Hauppauge with an adapter for RCA connectors.
If i run:
mplayer  -aspect 16/9  tv:// -tv input=1:alsa:adevice=hw.1:immediatemode=0
I can se the video and hear the sounds, but it's quite impossible to
play games since there is a big delay (about 1 second)
between the joypad input and the video. From mplayer man page:

       immediatemode=<bool>
                      A value of 0 means capture and buffer audio and
video together (default for MEncoder).  A value of 1
                      (default for MPlayer) means to do video capture
only and let the audio go through a  loopback  cable
                      from the TV card to the sound card

If I omit the option immediatemode=0 or I set it to 1, there's no
sound but also no delay.

Is it possible to capture/playback the sound with another process in
parallel with the video capture?
I've disabled pulseaudio management on the USB device hw:1,0 but when
I run arecord it get stuck
and exit with error:

[fabio@darkstar ~]$ arecord -Dhw:1,0 -f S16_LE --rate=48000 -c2
Recording WAVE 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo
RIFF$�WAVEfmt ���data�arecord: pcm_read:1828: read error:
Input/output error

Thank you in advance for any help,
my kindest regard,

 - Fabio
