Hello again! I managed to obtain a nice video input from my sveon usb stick using last em28xx v4l drivers from git and giving the module the hint card=19. But I have no audio.The card works flawlessy in windows. The internal chipsets in the card are: - USB interface: em2860 - Audio ADC: emp202 - Video ADC: saa7118h (philips) Attached is the relevant dmseg output. The usb audio card card correctly shows in pulseaudio volume control and is recognized as hw.2 by alsa: $ arecord -l **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog] Subdevices: 3/3 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 Subdevice #2: subdevice #2 card 2: STV40 [USB 2861 Device (SVEON STV40)], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 However, I'm not able to record any sound from it and mplayer says "no audio": $ mplayer -tv device=/dev/video0:input=1:norm=PAL:alsa:immediatemode=0:audiorate=48000:amode=1:adevice=hw.2 tv:// MPlayer SVN-r33996-4.6.1 (C) 2000-2011 MPlayer Team mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support.
