Hello, I am hoping that someone on this list may have some ideas on how to help me. I am using a Hauppauge Nova-T PCI card on an AMD64/Debian-AMD64 machine in Scotland. What I am hoping to be able to do is to be able to listen to the standard audio-pid of a given channel as well as the audio-pid containing the "audio description for the blind". Effectively mixing the two audio streams. This would be very nice because as you may have guessed, I am blind myself! So far, I have played with the dvbstream and tzap tools and have not been successfull. I can play one or the other audio pid but not both. Example: > tzap -r "BBC One Scot" 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null & > cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 | ts2es 202 | mplayer - The above pipes a 192 Kbit stereo mp3 stream to mplayer. The APid=202 above is the standard audio-pid for BBC One Scotland from the BlackHill transmitter. The audio-description Audio-pid for the same channel is 206. That is to say, the above set of commands with 206 substituted for 202 produces a 64 Kbit mono mp3 stream containing the audio description. I have tried putting both audio-pids on the ts2es command line but it seams to only sepperate one pid-stream at a time. I have also tried running the cat command twice - once for each APid, but the device seams to lock on the first read request. I've also played with dvbstream and although it takes two pids on the command line, one seams to have to be a video-pid. Of course, another potential problem with this is that the audio-description APids seam to transmit 64 Kbits mono whereas the standard APid's stream at 128/192 Kbits. It would seam to me that the different encoding rates wouldn't mix very easily. If anyone has any ideas on how I can accomplish listening to both at once that would be really great! Thanks in advance, Monty
