I feel this somehow contradicts with your suggestion
to remove the first scan, so could you clarify?
What I meant to say is that both udev and pulseaudio opens the device,
and these might initialize the audio thread. The driver should be able
to work the same way with or without the first open by udev/pulseaudio.
But the first scan I was referring to, and am going
to remove, happens not on the device open, but on
the driver init (modprobe time).
open()s are safe, fortunately.
The autounmute is not a hack. It is a logic to suppress audio when the
audio carrier is not detected. It should not be removed.
You are confusing the automute and autoUNmute.
Autounmute is a must-die hack, and we only need
to fix mplayer first. Automute just needs a fix.
Though I'd personally remove the automute too, by
exporting some interface for an app to query the
signal strength... but that's another story. :)
I'm not sure if it is safe to make mplayer to use the audio mixer.
Why, if otherwise it already uses alsa in our case?
The mixer control is just another part of an alsa
interface, and it is already exported to the v4l apps, so...
It
is probably a good idea doing that, as it will also work fine with webcams
that provide alsa inputs.
And will make pulseaudio happy, that's for sure. :)
