Hi,
Yesterday I bought myself a SoundBlaster AWE 64. Unfortunately, I can't get
it to work under FreeBSD 2.2.2 RELEASE (it does however work under M$
windows 3.1).
I installed Luigi's pnp and snd driver (pnp970924.tgz & snd971007.tgz) and
recompiled the kernel. The kernel config file contains the following
configuration lines:
controller pnp0
device pcm0 at isa ? port 0x220 tty irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 vector pcmintr
When I boot using this new kernel I get the following boot messages:
....
Probing for PnP devices:
CSN 1 Vendor ID: CTL00c5 [0xc5008c0e] Serial 0x056d76bc
This is a SB16 PnP, but LDN 0 is disabled
....
pcm0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 mem 0x0 flags 0x15 en 1 confl 0
mss_detect error, busy still set (0xff)
sb_reset_dsp 0x220 failed
pcm0 not found at 0x220
....
What is wrong here? Should I configure something using the -c boot option?
My BIOS is not PnP aware, but I think that should not matter (it does not
matter for Windows 3.1). pnpinfo shows the following information:

What do you use for to convert to MPEG? The software that comes with the card
is horrendously slow!

Hum. I used the 1.52 driver to capture about an hour of video last night with
no problems.

Xing MPEG encoder 2.0. You get free 30 days from www.xingtech.com or $89
for a license. It does about 8 minutes an hour on my 200 MMX so it's
definetly faster than the crappy Ulead one. (and does better quality)

You can do that, the problem is when you try to do something else
after doing that or specifically after playing back that video. 1.52
(and 1.5) are little less worse in this sense than 1.1 but there is no
cure yet.

your config is correct and as you see the diagnostic is very clear.
Your bios is not pnp aware hence it does not assign resources to the
card. win95 is pnp aware so this does not matter. freebsd can
initialize the card for you provided you tell it in the follwing way.
- pick some free io, irq and dma addresses (say port 0x220, irq5 drq 1
and 5 -- or the same as you use in win95
- boot -c
- issue the command
pnp 1 0 os enable port0 0x220 irq0 5 drq0 1 drq1 5
then everything should work and your pcm1 will be recognised

Great that works! In fact, I have been playing with the card for some time
now. I'm able to play audio files, mpeg's with sound and RealAudio 3.0 also
works fine. Good job Luigi, thanks!
Unfortunately, I ran into a small problem. Sometimes (I did not figure out
yet what condition this triggers), I get the following message:
oasis /kernel: SoundBlaster 16 4.16>1 open: device busy
after this message. I can no longer play any sounds. The solution I have
found so far is to reboot the system :-(. dmesg shows the following
messages:
dsp write channels 2
dsp write channels 2
START dma chan: play 5, rec 1

Any clue?

A new snap of my audio driver and pnp code are available at
http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/snd971020.tgz
http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/pnp971020.tgz
both are tested against 2.2.5 and 2.2.1.
The PnP code is substantially unchanged since the previous snapshot,
only minor changes have been done to the README file.
The sound code has some minor fixes for the following bugs in 971007:
+ snd_sync() did not properly shut down the device;
+ because of some typos, the code would not compile on 3.0
+ 3.0 users had problems in the attach of SB16 devices;
also the README files and patches have been cleaned up.
Feedback as usual is welcome, please include in plain ascii the
relevant info, e.g. your config file, dmesg output, pnpinfo output and
a description of the problem
Cheers

Dear Mr. Wosch,
Is there any Video Conferencing solution you know of on freeBSD.
It should work both on Ethernet LAN and SLIP or PPP WAN at 28.8K.
Do you know of any drivers for Video blaster SE100 on BSD.
Any information on these issues is most welcome
Thanks in advance

|the external API is the last think I want to change -- as in the case

Sorry, I shouldn't have used the word "external". What I meant was the
APIs between the sound driver "shell" and each of the individual sequencer
drivers (like probe, attach, ioctl, etc.). I was thinking of these
sequencer APIs as external to a particular sequencer driver (in terms of
plugging into the sound driver shell), but of course they're still internal
to the sound driver as a whole. Sorry about that.
|... the real thing I am missing is not how to code the driver, for that
|I can borrow from the existing one. The real problem is what the synth
|is expecting to receive in terms of communication with the system. I
|guess it needs, for each note, a set of parameters identifying the note
|to play, and perhaps some timing reference to relate it to other notes.
|Also what kind of feedback is the driver supposed to give back to the
|application --- things like "i am about to finish with this note please
|send me more..." etc. Once I understand this, i guess i can be really
|productive. And for that it is more important to have a high level
|understanding of what the synth should do, rather than low level driver
|programming. It is the former experience i am severely lacking an

|
|>From these discussions I am slowly figuring out what should the

I've not done any sequencer programming myself, but the two references I'm
aware of are are:
1) Chapter 4 (pp 32-44) from Hannu's snd-sdk-doc-0.1.ps, and
2) http://www.4front-tech.com/pguide/midi.html at 4-Front.
The latter is a pretty anemic write-up. The former is much more
interesting. Let me know if you don't have a copy of this
snd-sdk-doc-0.1.ps file and I'll be glad to get one in the mail to you.
Thanks,

|
|No luck :( I've tried all combinations. Regardless of the
|antenna/cable setting, I get:
|
| - Blank video (all black) and static for audio when the input is set to
| tuner.
|
| - Blank video (all black) and no audio when the input is set to

|
|I'm stumped. The kernel appears to identify the card without a problem:
|
| bktr0 <BrookTree 848> rev 17 int a irq 9 on pci0:12
| Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Temic PAL tuner, dbx stereo.
|
|I'm not adverse to debugging this at the driver level -- does anyone
|have suggestions for a good starting point?
Ok, well I'm getting close to the limit of things I can think of to try.
Here are some thoughts:
- Bring up the Input->Appearance dialog and crank up brightness and
contrast
- Play with selecting different input formats from the Format menu
- Run fxtv with the -colorbars option. Don't know for sure about
PAL tuners, but in NTSC-land you should see solid vertical
colorbars with very pure colors in this order from left-to-right:
White Yellow Cyan Green Magenta Red Blue Black
If this doesn't reveal any clues, I think you might want to dial up Steve
or Amancio for some driver debugging tips.
BTW, you might drop the output of "xdpyinfo" on your box into your reply.
I'm curious as to what your visuals look like.

|
|I am using a Trio V64+ and 16bpp and the card is working great under Win95.
Sorry about that -- my fault. Joao and Alex also hit this last week.
There are a few ways to fix your problem. The easiest is to change the
"TVSetChannel"s in app_rsrc.h to "TVSetStation", rm tv.o, and rebuild fxtv.
The reason these (albeit incorrect) internal defaults are coming into play
is that Fxtv can't find its global resource file. You can set
XFILESEARCHPATH (see below) so that it can. This, also, will also get rid
of the TVSetChannel errors.
I'll clean this up for the next version.

Randall Hopper:
|Alex Nash:
| | Warning: Actions not found: TVSetChannel
|
|This one's my bust. TVSetChannel is history. It's TVSetStation now. I
|changed this in the global Fxtv resource file, but I missed it in the
|internal fall-back. If fxtv can't find the global resource file
|(via XFILESEARCHPATH), it falls back on internal defaults in the code,
|which are in error.
|
|To fix, either:
|
| setenv XFILESEARCHPATH /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/%T/%N%C%S:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/%T/%N%S
|
|or something similar; or replace the "TVSetChannel" refs in app_rsrc.h with
|"TVSetStation", remove tv.o, and relink fxtv. Or do both.

No luck with either of these.

No luck here either -- I get nothing but black when using -colorbars.

My latest thinking on all this is that the card I have is incompatible
with the driver because it has FM radio support (is anyone running a
card with radio support under FreeBSD?). Probably there's a command
to select TV or radio, and hopefully that is all that's missing.
Perhaps Amancio or Steve could answer this question: Has all the
documentation for the bt848 driver come from Brooktree, or has
Hauppauge been forthcoming with details about their board? (Assuming
that this is a Hauppauge specific problem.)

You bet, I'll attach it to the end of this message. Thanks again for

I was wondering how to get one of these beasts to work in 2.2-STABLE, not
using Luigi's sound driver since i also have a PAS card that i want (need)
to use. Or how hard it would be to get the PAS (with sb part running) to
work with Luigi's driver.

Hmm..interesting. Support for bunches of Pixmap depths simultaneously.
Just for kicks, what's the output of "fxtv -debug startup" look like (just
the part before it starts talking about FONT stuff)? You should see fxtv
chosing your 24-bpp visual to work in. Pretty sure it will; just want to
sanity check this.
BTW, you're frame buffer is running in 24-bpp, right? I'm slightly puzzled
by the fact that the "default visual id" is your 8-bpp PseudoColor visual.
OR, if you in fact "are" running your frame buffer in 8-bpp, and the Xaccel
server doesn't handle 24-bit ximages in 8-bpp mode, this just might explain
the black screen you're seeing :-)
If you are running your frame buffer in 8-bpp, just for kicks, change this
line in tvscreen.c:
case PseudoColor : rank = 2; break;
to this:
case PseudoColor : rank = 1000; break;
Which should force use of the PseudoColor visual. See if that makes any
difference :-)

Is anyone else having problems with Xi graphics's servers?
As for debugging the driver:
#if defined( STATUS_SUM )
/* add any new device status or INTerrupt status bits */
status_sum |= (bktr_status & ~(BT848_INT_RSV0|BT848_INT_RSV1));
status_sum |= ((dstatus & (BT848_DSTATUS_COF|BT848_DSTATUS_LOF)) << 6);
#endif /* STATUS_SUM */
/* printf( " STATUS %x %x %x \n",
dstatus, bktr_status, bt848->risc_count );
*/
/* if risc was disabled re-start process again */
if ( !(bktr_status & BT848_INT_RISC_EN) ||
Just uncomment the above printf , compile , install the new kernel.
After rebooting , run fxtv and send me the output of the last 200
or messages .
Tnks,
Amancio

the best option would be to support the PAS on my driver. Does it
by chance emulate the SB or something, or can you help in writing
support for it ?

The PAS is one of the funnier cards since it does do SB emulation, but
uses an actual Creatice chip to achieve it. This gives the PAS two sound
channels out (PAS 16bit stereo, sb 8bit mono). I would think that the sb
part could be accessed by your drivers. But then i lose the PAS part and
can _still_ only play two sounds at a time :) As to me writing a driver...
Don't have the slightest idea how to. I would guess there are some
defferencies between your driver and the voxware one, how hard would it be
to port the voxware one, any guidelines etc?

What is the point of using multiple cards to play sounds together,
rather than mixing them in software and playing the resulting stream on
one _good_ sound card ?

I have to say that the ossfreee 3.8 code (the linux version, which is
available in source format) is much more readable than previous ones
(or perhaps I have more experience...) so you could start from the
documentation in the doc/ directory in my driver, and then try to look
at the ossfree code for the PAS.
But I don't think I will ever support the PAS in such a way that
two independent, simultaneous channels are available. Does Voxware
support this ?
Cheers
Luigi

CPU? I did try software mixing once, but to make a good mixing device? I
just dont have the math for it.

I'm not sure i'm following you on this but if you are asking if i can play
two sounds simmultaneous, then yes i can. The PAS card is really two cards
in one.

Hi,
The problems described herein is very similar to the ones I
have, thus I thought I'd share my experiences.

Same here (when tuner is set to Temic).

My video-in works fine (My old Philips TVtuner from my Amiga days
is curently feeding it). I haven't tried S-VHS, as I've got
nowhere to get the signal from.

Are you sure that the tuner is a Temic? My Hauppauge card (PAL,
Text, Radio - probably a model 418) has a Philips tuner.
You have to take off the Hauppauge sticker to check - be
carefull that you don't remove the text on the stickers below.
(I'm at work now, but I remenber setting an option in the kernel
config. file to force the driver to assume a Philips tuner).
The problem is probably that the sticker on the (i.e. my) tuner
module says FM1216. I think the ones the driver is based on are the
F[IR]1216 tuners.
Does anyone have the datasheet for the FM1216. I have tried calling
the Danish Philips branch and I've tried asking at www.philips.com.
Both times I've been directed to a Danish distributor (Rosenmeier
Data A/S), who hasn't got a clue.
I've also tried contacting techsupport@hauppauge.com - NO answer.
If anyone can help me get a copy of the datasheet, I'd be happy
to update the driver.
Currently my advise to the public is: Stay away from the
Hauppauge cards with radio.
Have a nice day
Flemming

I'll be getting a copy of this later today, looking forwards to seeing
some documentation further than the voxware 2.4 stuff I've got.

I should probably buy a motherboard that actually gives the correct
voltages for the 166MMX I impulse-bought. I'll be wanting to do this
eventually though so it's nice to see that this is looking possible.
Anyway, thanks for the information, I'll try out some of the newer
versions of both guspnp (although I don't have actually have a GUS) and
your driver (not necessarily in that order!).
Also apologies for the late reply. I've not had time to check my mail much
lately.
Many Thanks,

|I tried this, too, but perceived the same phenomenon as described above. Huh!
Sounds like you have old settings from a previous version of Fxtv lying
around somewheres, or this version of Fxtv wasn't installed correctly.
First, verify that /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Fxtv and
$XAPPLRESDIR/Fxtv (if XAPPLRESDIR is set) don't have TVSetChannel
references.
Then look in your ~/.Xdefaults and ~/.Xresources for "Fxtv" settings
containing "TVSetChannel".
And finally, make sure any Fxtv files (if present) in any of your
XUSERFILESEARCHPATH directories (if XUSERFILESEARCHPATH is set) don't have
"TVSetChannel" in them.
Change any found references to TVSetStation.
Finally once you think you've got them all, run:
appres Fxtv | grep TVSetChannel and
strings /usr/X11R6/bin/fxtv | grep TVSetChannel
to be sure. These commands shouldn't print anything if you did.
|By the way: I normally use "Europe Cable" and "PAL (BGH...)" under the
|Win95 application. So do you think your fxtv is "incompatible" to the
|format used in Germany!? Hmmm.....
That I don't know. Really the bt848 driver is what determines whether that
support is there for that formata. Fxtv is just passing through the user's
request to set the format.
Searching my mail archives, the only person I see posting about the Bt848
TV cards from Germany is Volker Freiburg
<volker@neuroinformatik.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>. You might give him a mail and
see if he can help you out. He added some channel definitions for PAL in
Western Europe.

That's OK -- you're using an old or nonexistent Fxtv app-defaults file.
Copy fxtv to your app-deafuls directory or append to ~/.Xdefaults.

make sure the tuner is checked on the Input menu. Also check your cable
connection and that the channels that are being tuned are actually on your
system. The default channels are few and far between, and if you're on an
antenna you may not be getting the right channels.

It is good for the OSS/FreeBSD sound driver, I have used it to write a

Subject: Re: fxtv 0.45 and/or Bt848 driver
Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk
Well, I had a little time to experiment with the Bt848 driver/fxtv
this weekend/yesterday, so, since I understand that fxtv-0.45 and
the updated Bt848 driver are in the 2.2.x and 3.0-current source trees,
I upgraded to the latest (late Saturday) 2.2 RELENG, soon to be 2.2.5.
I wanted to test the soon-to-be-2.2.5 release wrt the Bt848.
It appeared to have updated fxtv and bt848 drivers. I did a
"make world" overnight, it worked, and fxtv and video in worked.
A few complications.
[Of course, I ran into the same "TVSetChannel" problem, but,
that was easily fixed by the advice on "freebsd-multimedia".]
Somewhere in all the upgrades, [I freely admit that during upgrades
operator error is a possibility}, I have experienced two new problems.
First, the vic 2.8 framegrabber no longer seems to detect the Bt848,
as it did before, so, I can't do video input to vic. Was a change
to vic required to support the modified driver? It was working
Saturday (I checked), before the cvsup and "make world". Are there
any modifications to the vic source needed to go with the latest
driver? As I said, this was working before the upgrade, and I did
not upgrade vic, so the change would have had to have been in
cvsup'ed system source or in one of the /usr/ports dependent libraries,
some of which may have been updated since vic was last built.
Now, fxtv-0.45 works in 8-bit color mode (I was expecting a somewhat
different user interface from fxtv-0.44, but it looks the same to me -
do I have an X resources problem?), although, fxtv seems to ignore the
channel selection X resources that I had set before (but, you can go up
and down one-channel-at-a-time) in the channel space. Was there an
announcement of new X resources to set/handle the channels? Is there
another way to do this now - I saw no menu. In any case, I assume that
all this will sort itself out over time and has nothing to do with
the driver changes.
The other, potentially serious, problem is that in (32-bit)
Truecolor (using an ATI Graphics Xpression), a large horizontal
band of what appears to be every-other line (e.g. even or odd?)
is messed up. I don't have the exact dimensions, but, I would
say that this band goes perhaps from lines ~120 to ~300 on the
displayed video image. Now, I did see a similar effect before
with 2.2.2-RELEASE and fxtv-0.43 or -0.44 (somewhere in the
June-August timeframe), and, after recompiling and reinstalling
everything in September, it mysteriously went away. But, now
the problem is back. I tried cleaning, deleting, and reinstalling
from port source, a few things, but, it made no difference.
8-bit color mode still works fine.
I also tried running the old fxtv, which I had squirreled away,
and, it produced some error messages and wouldn't run. I have
not tried reinstalling the old driver, because, I think there
is some new ioctl or something the new fxtv needs. But, if
I'm wrong about that, I could try putting the old driver back.
Environment: 2.2-RELENG as of Saturday, including the now-included
Bt848 driver, which appears to have been updated properly (previously,
I had the ~June driver hand-installed), fxtv-0.45, ATI Graphics
Xpression, XFree86 3.3.1, using the Mach64 X server.
So, anyway, has anyone else tried the almost-2.2.5 release
with fxtv-0.45 using the X server in truecolor mode, and,
if so, anything odd? It may have something to do with the
relatively slow ATI card, but, it was working since early
September using 2.2.2, fxtv-0.44, and the (June?) driver.

If you want to search for Philips parts this is the web page to go:
http://www-us.semiconductors.philips.com/search/
If the information is not there then someone is going to have to
write or call philips to request the data sheet. Usually, Philips
is very good about sending the data sheet or faixing back.

The resource names have changed. A s/Channel/Station/g in your

It really needs the latest driver upgrades to run. This is ok.

I have experience using fxtv with two ATI cards. At home I have
an ATI 3D Pro Turbo, 8M VRAM. It works wonderfully in True Color
mode. At work I have an ATI Graphics Pro Turbo, 4M VRAM, and I
cannot get fxtv to work in True Color mode. Neither DirectV
mode, nor XImages mode work at all. It works in 15bpp mode,
though, and I have not tried anything below this.

A feature new with AccelX 3.1 -- works great for programs like xdoom
which only understand 8-bpp.

It sure did (see the attachment).

Yes, 24-bpp. I'm as puzzled as you are about how it works, but I haven't
seen a program yet which was thrown off by it.

I can only wish :) But seriously, given the static for audio I'm getting,
I think fxtv and AccelX are faultless.

Doh! I have model 452, which is most definitely NTSC. I'll
try some experiments with OVERRIDE_TUNER. Thanks for pointing
that out.

Amancio came up with a nifty URL for the Philips semiconductor
search engine. Alas, the documentation for the F[IRM]1216
tuners is off-line at the moment.

Agreed.

Well,
My old vic-2.7 still works with the bt848 driver.
Please make sure that you have :
cd /dev
ln -s meteor btkr
ln -s meteor0 bktr0
If it still does not work please let me know.
Also on http://www.freebsd.org/~ahasty/Bt848.html
There is a version of grabber-meteor.cc for vic-2.8 which supports both
the matrox and bt848 driver by basically locating /dev/bktr and /dev/meteor
no other bt848 specific ioctl was added.
Try 16bit color depth with fxtv and your X setup.

i'm not sure if this is a hardware problem or not...
but i've only getting a left channel output from
a toshiba atapi cdrom drive (when i play music).
When i plug in a pair of headphones, all i get
is the right channel... not the left. i'm puzzled.
The volume controls in cdcontrol work, does
something else need to be configured?

Thats an update to linux_ioctl so it compiles with recent 3.0-current.
Basically, I just replaced linux_misc.c with the one from current.
2.2- folks can safely ignore this update.

Thats a win95 application from brooktree to display the register values
in the bt848 chipset.
I think this is a great tool to fine tune our driver or figure out
whats going on with the tuner section.
The registers of interest with respect to tuners are:
gpio_dma_ctl
gpio_reg_inp
gpio_data
If you look in brooktree848.c:set_audio it should be fairly
straightforward to find out how to set gpio_data and gpio_reg_inp.
Perhaps someone can get the Philips FM1216 data sheet via fax 8)

Hi,
I found the datasheet for the FR126 which has video and fm tuner
sections:
http://www.dc-na.comp.philips.com/fi1200.html
Perhaps is closed enough to the fm1216 model.
Cheers,

I've got that one, and according to that the band-switching in
your driver is OK. Actually I can't see any conflicts between
the sheet and your driver.
I emailed the author of the Linux driver (nice, helpfull guy).
According to him, the Linux driver supports my card.
He told me that the FM and FI/FR tuners are not very different
but that he had to fix something in order to not enable the
radio.
I looked at the Linux driver, but I didn't get any wiser
(according to it the band select bytes are: 0xA4,0x94,0x34 -
according to the FR1216 specs this (i.e. setting bit 3) will
select the radio (at least for the low band)).
I got a name at Hauppauge from whom he got a fax of the interesting
pages of the FM1216 specs. I sent the guy a polite letter -
hopefully he'll send something to me.

rare% mixer
Mixer vol is currently set to 90:90
Mixer bass is currently set to 75:75
Mixer treble is currently set to 75:75
Mixer synth is currently set to 75:75
Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75
Mixer speaker is currently set to 75:75
Mixer line is currently set to 75:75
Mixer mic is currently set to 16:16
Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75
Mixer igain is currently set to 75:75
Mixer ogain is currently set to 75:75
all values are set equally.
The left channel is still missing.
doesn't mixer control the soundcard?
i still get left channel missing from the headphone port
on the cd player, which is why i believe its wcd related.

sorry to bug ya.
As i was getting ready to play with a cheap new sony cr writer
(cdu926s), i unplugged the cable from the cd player from the
cd player to the soundblaster board.
When i plugged the headphones in, the sound wasn't attenuated anymore,
AND BOTH CHANNELs appeared.
This is a soundBlaster 64 awe board, and it has two jacks,
one which is black, labeled CD, another which is labeled
aux1. It SEEMS like the traditional cdrom audio black/white
cable would plug into the (black) cdrom, and the white (soundblaster)
but that's not true. The soundblaster wants a black/black
style connector.
i've got to find out what the white aux1 connector is for...
Thanks for putting up with me.

We really don't have any products that use this little bandwidth. Across

Just a brief note to tell that I now have guspnp support in my audio
driver. The relevant bits are available from
http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/snd971022.tgz
there are still a few things to fix (e.g. some GUS cards seem to
produce a DC offset which can cause problems in vat -- i have a
fix contributed by Brad Karp which should go in the next snap;
also, on the card I have ulaw/alaw is still not working) but overall
the code works pretty well.
If you have a gus and are impatient, have a try...
Cheers

After unpacking their 5.0B1 version, I get this behavior:
jkh@time-> pwd
/usr/tmp/rvplayer5.0b1
jkh@time-> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` ./rvplayer
LINUX: 'ioctl' fd=6, typ=0x450(P), num=0xf not implemented
The control panel comes up as normal, and I can even open the default
realvideo "welcome" and get what looks like a single frame of the
video, then nix. I don't know if the failed ioctl() and the lack of
video is related in anyway, but there you have it. Anyone have any
better luck?

If you like you can try guspnp21 which seems to work with
the linux rvplayer and you will need to get also
ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/linux_ioctl.tar.gz
This is only for 3.0 -current .

Thanks Amancio, I kind of figured that. :-)
What I was more curious about was what it was trying to do and
how hard it would be to implement.

You don't need guspnp21 given that the problem was due to a
bug in the way that the driver was handling the system call poll.
The system call poll is not available for 2.2.x

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I assume that you realize that you can't satisfy both requirements
within the same session. [At the present time - there is research
going on with layered codecs, etc., but, for the moment, you have
to choose your settings to match the lowest-bitrate.]
The standard Mbone tools (sdr; vic; vat or rat; wb or nte) work
fine over Ethernet, and even passably well over ISDN with some
care used in choosing codecs (e.g. DVI4 or GSM audio) and parameters
(keeping video bitrate down).
Over 28.8, however, you have very limited options. One option
is to use proprietary hardware and software, rather than FreeBSD.
Even then, quality is limited.
The other option is to go ahead and use vat/rat, with the lpc4 codec.
I have used it before under vat, (on an SGI Irix system - I haven't
tested it on FreeBSD or rat) and it worked OK for me. LPC4 sounds
tolerable for speech, like a moderate-quality AM radio signal listened to
over a portable radio speaker - in other words, it is clear enough,
but is obviously a little unnatural. Music sounds absolutely terrible.
GSM sounds better, but, given SLIP/PPP overhead, I doubt if there
would be enough bandwidth left over for much video.
You have no option but to severely limit your video bandwidth.
Using vat with either H.261 or nv (at very low bitrates, I prefer
using nv or H.261 at a quality 4 setting, using "small picture",
setting the bitrate limit to 1 fps and 10 kbits/sec, use
"sending slides" mode. In other words, forget about trying to
capture facial movement, and just get a sequence of stills.
(Others may differ with this choice.)
With your video bitrate set this low - that is, to 10 kbits/sec,
you *might* barely have enough audio bandwidth left over
to use rat with lpc+lpc redundancy, which would likely be
a good thing using SLIP/PPP over 28.8 modem. Experiment.
The "rat" audio tool is not quite as solid/debugged as vat,
but, the redundancy feature should make a big difference
in low bitrate-lossy situations. This is unavoidably
an experimental situation in which you will have to actively
choose settings which are, at best, usable. In other words,
if you already have the systems at either end, it is worthwhile
to try, although, since this is experimental, you certainly
wouldn't want to "sell" a solution to an end-user.
If you were thinking about one of the new, very-low-bitrate video
codecs, AFAIK, no support is expected any time soon, because,
even though there are standards, they involve patented,
proprietary technology that has to be licensed.
Corrections welcome.

Echo that. What was the last gugpnp to support 2.2.x, and does someone
still have it laying around? guspnp18 is still too late and that's the
earliest that's on rah. I had to go back to guspnp11 (which I luckily
still had laying around) after I upgraded to 2.2.5.

supports PnP and SoundBlaster16.
I strongly suggest you _not_ to buy a SoundBlaster, and instead go for
some cheap Windows Sound System-compatible card, e.g. the AOpen AW35 or
others based on the Crystal CS423x, Yamaha, or if you have no other
chance, OPTI931 chipsets. The WSS clones support 16-bit full duplex,
whereas the SB16 can only do full duplex with a trick and with lower
quality (8 bit only on one channel).

I tried this, and it does indeed work. Well done!
I had do patch my system a bit to get it (linux_ioctl) to compile:
1) I had to put the guspnp21's soundcard.h into
sys/i386/include (AKA /usr/include/machine).
2) I had to patch the code to work with untimeout. But it appears, on
making a diff with a _really_ recent CURRENT, that some of those
problems have already been fixed?
What is the most recent version of this, and how well is it working on
a _recent_ current?

My brother bought today new Hauppauge Win/TV PCI Model 406 card. I
recommended that because it's same card I have used couple months with
great success. Bt848 driver couldn't probe card and then I looked bt848
chip. It was BT849! Card also has new PCI ID. I changed this to
brktree_reg.h (#define BROOKTREE_848_ID 0x0351109E). After this
change card probed ok. External video mode does now work but tuner
mode doesn't.

No offense taken, but having worked on H.324, I feel compelled to point out
that that H.324 is an international _standard_ solution to videoconferencing
over dial-up modems at speeds below 33.6Kbps. It uses (usually) the H.263
video codec, which provides much better video quality than H.261 at such
low speeds. Sure, the quality is "limited" compared to the luxurious stuff
you can get over a LAN, but hey, remember it's going over a 4KHz-bandwidth
phone line! In my opinion it is quite usable, once you get used to the fact
that it's not going to look as good as your television. :-)
Unfortunately, none of the H.324 hardware/software solutions I'm aware of
work with FreeBSD - they're all tailored to Windows 95 - except for the
new stand-alone videophones that have become available recently (for example,
the C-Phone box you can buy at retail) that don't require any computer.

I have a Miro PCTV card with a Bt848 and a Temic tuner which partially
works - it seems to do only NTSC (even though it does PAL under
windows) and have some offset-problem for the DMA when running in
32-bit mode (the offset works correctly in 16-bit mode).
Should I try to debug this, or are other people working on it and I
should just not bother? Any hints on where to start?
I have so far tried to switch the driver probes around to make the
Tenic detect as a PAL, and done some other minor experimental driver
changes, but it still seem to be doing NTSC only.

Please try to debug it hour PAL support is rather week.
