Here's an interesting update to the audio problem. I read this in another thread:

So I tried to get VLC to ask more "nicely":

Code:

cvlc v4l2:///dev/video0:chroma="UYVY":width=320:height=240:adev=default:audio-method=2:samplerate=8000

There are absolutely no errors (even using -vvv), VLC runs fine, it thinks it's got audio coming in, I can wave at myself on the screen... but no audio comes out. When I try streaming and then use mplayer http://localhost:7070 in another terminal, mplayer says there's no audio being streamed.

By the way, I've installed the full VLC package. It's annoying not having video out.

EDIT: I wonder if we need to ask even more nicely. How do we get VLC to use the S16_LE audio format?
