Now I read that some cards send the audio data via No. If you have a cable inside your box that goes from tv card audio outlet -> audio card line inlet it'll be line1, not line. So you can still use the line channel for extarnal audio that you want to get into your soundcard as the line-in. But not all tv cards have this. > the PCI bus to the bktr driver. That sound much more elegant. But which No. There are (many) cards with a sound processor of their own, but as far as I know on FreeBSD they don't get their own mixer (as on Linux) but rather become the video mixer channel (or something). > cards work thar way? And how does FreeBSD the that data. Does a second > mixer appear? AFAIK, no. HTH, Dan
