The MPEG program > stream from the card contains both sound and video. Yeh, And I did say most.. :) I was thinking that if the card does something special with sound, like integrate it into a codec stream, then the sound capture could/should? be set as a parameter of that device that does the integration... Because I assume that the card can only captuer sound as part of the mpeg codec stream? (going to check the specs). Do people think that sound should be brought under it's umbrela? I don't want to delay it too much by expanding the scope.. Just getting video is going to be difficult enough.. -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
