I was using fxtv-0.48 under FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE. | |(1) In tvaudio.c, after SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT, the value is checked to see | that it worked (parm != parm_new). But the sound driver (snd/sound.c) | has this code: ... | So when setting the record format, the returned value is the play | format, which is zero (as suggested in the comment), so fxtv thinks | the ioctl sample format is not supported. The driver code looks | bogus to me, but I just hacked fxtv to not check. You're using Luigi's pcm driver. pcm differs from voxware in this behavior. Luigi addressed this on the list when it came up before. |(2) The fxtv README says that mplex is not used by fxtv, but it is. Thanks. I've bumped it up into the top list. |(3) The fxtv README mentions an envoronment variable MPEG_AUDIO for | dist10, but it's really MPEGTABLES. Thanks again. Hmmm. I wonder if it used to be MPEG_AUDIO or if I just goofed. Anyway, it's fixed. |Apart from these problems, I was very impressed with how well it worked. Glad to hear it! Have fun!
